[QUOTE="TexasJ, post: 1555343, member: 30660"] Hi guys...I just spent the last 2 weeks replacing my turbo pedestal with an ebpv ******d pedestal. I replaced the O rings between the pedestal and turbo, and the o rings between the pedestal and engine. I just got everything put back together and checked for oil and exhaust leaks. Everything is good except the o rings between the pedestal and engine are leaking BAD. I used a rubber band to hold the rear pedestal bolts in place during install, and was VERY careful to make sure the O rings didn't slide out of place when put it back in the truck. That said, the holes that the 4 pedestal bolts pass through to screw into the engine block were NOT aligned with the holes in the engine block on the new pedestal I bought. So I had to drill them out slightly larger in order to get all 4 bolts to screw in. I know I didn't crack the pedestal or drill into any area that oil passes through. My concern is that the oil hole(s) in the pedestal may not be aligned with the oil hole(s) in the block, do you think that's possible? Or is it normal for the o rings to leak for a while until they swell up to seal? I did soak them in oil for a bit before installing. And if this is more likely the problem, do you think a bottle of stop leak would help? I REALLY do NOT want to have to tear that turbo out again. And I need my truck running for a week long trip over christmas... so if the turbo has to come out again I'm going to have to take it to a shop. Thanks guys. [/QUOTE]
