Re: Turbo Gaskets R&R
Don't know about the hotshot but I never touch the turbo gaskets unless I have a reason to disassemble something. They will last the life of the turbo.

Re: Turbo Gaskets R&R
That is good to know.
We are talking the intake and exhaust gaskets. Yes?
Thanks Joel.

Re: Turbo Gaskets R&R
Same as Joel & Vince-only changed when Engine, exhaust components work or Turbo overhaul. However, we recently discussed the Turbo Clamps -tension and construction integrity. Also the clamp (s)/ Bands have a specific tensioning specification(s) and Safety wiring techniques.

Re: Turbo Gaskets R&R
These clamps are best left alone unless you have to disassemble the exhaust. On the TC -- we'll have quite a bit of exhaust residue around the joints and you learn to accept "normal". I have no experience with your hotshot exhaust.
If you do take them apart -- heed the Lycoming SB. You don't want to be roasted at altitude.
