In loving memory of H1C

[lz69]

My H1C decided to eat itself to pieces the other night and thought I would post a few pic's...

RIP.

That'll buff out. With some really really coarse compound!

FWIW, it looks like it ate something other than itself judging by that retaining nut. Did the air filter come apart or something?

It literally looks like someone decided to throw a handful of sand into it.

I was thinking either something got in there when working on it or possibly some big chunks of the compressor wheel bouncing around after the shaft bent.

couldn't even grind good hamburger with that !

How much of it made it to the engine? Or at least the intercooler.

[Tacoclaw]

Good point, when the turbos on our Macks explode we have to pull the intercooler and flush it out backwards, if you don't pieces will eventually work their way through and work their magic on the new turbine wheels.

62/86 compressor and 70/64 turbine upgrade time!

I think I was pretty lucky, there were lots of small pieces in the intercooler and the piping on the turbo side. The intake side piping looked pretty much like normal. Imagine it sucked in lots dust sized particles though.

Just curious how many miles on your truck when the turbo failed?

[lz69]

310,000k or so, never had much play before it blew up.

[Tacoclaw]

I wouldn't blame that failure on the turbo, something got in there and did that.
