Showed up at the shop.

I see why these Acert twins have high drive pressure. When your manifold turbo explodes don’t bother removing the old turbine wheel from the lower turbo housing.

NXS, guy shows up, says they put it together to drive it to us. I guess that was after they ran the drills in sideways, and broke one off it in.

The only thing more expensive than a good mechanic is a bad one

What you got going on in the last picture?

allan5oh · 07-19-2018, 04:40 PM

Looks like an OSHA unapproved bolt extraction method.

Yeah, how did you get that bolt out, weld to It?
Broke off drill bit is the worse.

Looks like an induction coil

Did it work biggy? If so I'm impressed. How did you grab it with the drill bit in it?

biggy238 · 07-19-2018, 08:42 PM

The induction heater is magical. I'm not pleased with how it did in this particular instance, but it does its job well. I was able to remove all 4 studs in the forward manifold section after heating them and letting them cool. I had even broken one of them, leaving about 1" protruding, and turned it out.

The previous mechanic killed atleast 6 other bolt holes, they have all been poorly threadserted.

Those were photos of different cylinders. #3 still has tap fragments from the failed extraction attempt. I will cut it out with a carbide bit tomorrow and repair it with a gardsert.

I'm up in the air about the #3 port. They drilled well out of the thread bore at a 15-20 degree down angle. I can't repair it %100 without filler of some kind.

Never used one. We use solid carbide bit to drill out the studs. Bits are $100 each but chew them like butter. Even after you break a normal bit off inside.

Red Sleeper · 07-20-2018, 08:47 AM

That induction heater is pretty slick. Never knew about them until now.

I’ve had good luck in the past with heating the metal around a bolt with the torch. Then take a can of keyboard cleaner, turn it upside down and spray the bolt. That cleaner is almost like liquid nitrogen when used improperly. The bolt shrinks while the surrounding metal stays hot from the heated mass. Put your vice grips on and start working it loose.

I’ve also found 3-36 to be the best penetrant and general lubricator to have around. We have a can in every truck and on each tractor. As opposed to WD-40.

I like PB blaster, but it doesn't wick very well.

You are absolutely right about quenching. The CO2 cleaner is a good idea. The only issue I would worry about is cracking the studs because of the quench
