If the oil on the exhaust housing is coming from the turbo, your turbo most likey need a rebuild.

on original ct26 you can take the compressorhousing of but not the exhaust housing, not without re-balancing as far as i know. There are 2 metal pins between bearinghouse and compressor house so you cant twist it around like on other turbos, it has to be pushed out in one direction. I used a coppar or led hammer. But first the big metal ring has to be removed from compressor backside. I think you will find it pretty clean and not worth the effort..

alright is there just something i can rinse through it? i had a cracked block and all the oil and coolant mixed and came out the exhaust manifold

[Steely]

alright didn't wanna stick anything down it to hurt it

Lol...I would leave it alone...it's too easy to damage trying to "clean" it.

 

[Steely]

[pln]

[Steely]

[johnathan1]

I would honestly just spray it out with some brake/carb cleaner if you MUST.

 

[Steely]
