How does the Rear oil rear on the Garrett T2 turbo work??
I have 2 of them in bits and im trying to work out how it actually seals itself in the housing!
Here is a picture of a shaft from ebay. Auction number 320500883937.
There is a o ring type spring seal that lives on the shaft next to the exhaust wheel. Does this seal when fitted into the housing close down tight onto the the shaft causing a machined fit type setup hence stopping the oil getting past it?
I've have played with both shaft and they have big movement in them when they are in the housing. ( no bearing in there just the rear seal ) So would the seal be worn out or the shaft worn out or both??
1 turbo is totally knacked, bearing, shaft game over. The other seems good (thrust bearing needed) with just this rear seal issue!
Info please :)
