CLEANING AND INSPECTION (Contd)
7.
Inspect turbocharger impeller blades (1) for cracks and chips.
8.
Inspect bearing housing (2) for cracks, chips, and scratches. Remove small scratches and chips
from machined surfaces with crocus cloth.
9.
Measure bearing housing (2) from compressor housing stop to turbine housing stop at four equal
locations. Minimum length is 2.986 in. (7.584 cm). Replace bearing housing (2) if distorted.
10.
Inspect turbine blades (3) for cracks and chips.
11.
Inspect wheel and shaft seal ring grooves (6) for small grooves, chips, or cracks. Remove small
grooves with crocus cloth.
12.
Inspect wheel and shaft weld area (4) for chips, scratches, or cracks. Replace wheel and shaft (5)
if three or more cracks are found, or if cracks exceed 0.375 in. (9.525 mm) in length, have a
minimum distance of 0.250 in. (6.35 mm), or exceed 0.0625 in. (1.587 mm) in length on welded
area (4) circumference.
13.
Using dial indicator, measure wheel and shaft (5) runout 1 in. (25.4 mm) from bearing surface of
wheel and shaft (5). Wheel and shaft (5) maximum runout is 0.00005 in. (0.0127 mm). Discard
wheel and shaft (5), if runout is exceeded.
