I am relativaly new the DTR, I've been doing a lot of research on mods and maintenance and have found loads of info you guys and gals are great and thanks. I am in the process of fixing a few minor things on my truck this weekend and have a couple of questions. First I was replacing the exhaust manifold gaskets today and would like to know if anyone had torque specs for the manifold? Second I noticed that I have what looks like a crack on one of my blades of my turbo. Is this something I should be worried about or just leave it? I realize it probably wouldn't be pretty if it did break off.

 

IIRC

torque specs for the manifold are 38 ft lbs, but im not 100 percent sure.... Far as the broken turbo blades go, ive never seen them, i have seen striations on them that look like cracks... but no actual cracks. If you can confirm that it is a real crack, then id worry, if it breaks at a high rate of spinning, then youd really damage something... ID check it carefully if I was you...

exhaust manifold bolts are 32 ft lbs.

 

Thanks for the info, I'll take a closer look today.
