Hello, I have an 86 GN that I believe has the stock turbo. My question is what is the stock turbo on these and where can I get a rebuild kit?
My turbo has play in & out and up & down. There is about a 1/6" play up& down and about 1/4" play in & out. Is this worth rebuilding?
I recently pulled the motor cause it had "issues", it lost power while driving about four years ago and then the engine locked up. I thought it was the oil pump and maybe a spun main bearing and then a lock up, but I just found the cause.
It seems as though the cam snapped at the last section (the last two lobes), don't know how but it did and walked out hitting the flywheel and then dropped back inside locking the motor and chipping the last two cylinder bottoms.
I am trying to rebuild this cheaply but I don't know if I should reuse the block or trash it.
Anyways if anyone could help me with some basic info on what I can do and if it is worth a turbo rebuild please reply.
Thanks you for your attention.
