7.3 POWER STROKE O RING NO LEAK TRICK.....................

[@windstalker101]

I have probably watched over a thousand KZbin videos learning everything I can about the 7.3, when it comes down to it and I do a project, I always watch Clint. He's the man.

[@joshuajuarez3471]

I agree. I have my 7.3. And so many videos. But only few pre helpful. You have to understand it to do it right. How it works. And that goes for everything. I just replaced my turbo. Took me 6 hours. And ppl forget the crank case vent. Vapors. Vent it out. Older trucks have blow by. Normal to a point but the vapors. Anyways. Machines finishes are great. But ppl forget or don’t know about that. Ans the shops are so busy they rush and try em. They have to make money. So they want the trucks back but not all the time

[@dustinrogers6219]

This is a good explanation to how an o-ring can leak but I feel like in this case these are band aids to the root issue. Why would the customer not just get a new pedestal? Also, a very common leak point is the oil assisted actuator. If you are not in a SUPER cold climate area I would have gotten a pedestal that deletes the oil assisted actuator (EBPV delete). If you fix the o-rings and then a month or so down the road the EBPV starts to lead then it makes you look as if you didn't fix the first issue. I always spring for new pedestals with EBPV deletes since they are fairly inexpensive.

[@RJ-cc1fz]

I got the deleted pedestal and I have had it off twice and each time the orings still leaked.. gonna have to try the rtv method

[@redneckrandy8416]

I recently bought a 1997 Ford F-250 Powerstroke with the 7.3. It had been sitting 10+ years. It was a one owner truck and the man passed that owned so his wife sold it to me. You’re content is awesome and I’ve learned so much from watching your videos. The o rings on my turbo are leaking so I’m going to rebuild the whole turbo. I got it running but it smokes excessively and it smells like burnt diesel. The smoking clears up some until you give it throttle then it’ll smoke you out. Not sure if it’s the injectors or something else. Also found fuel in my oil.

I saw the thumbnail showing the O-ring in the compressor outlet, and thought the video was going to be about that one. For some reason I cannot find that O-ring anywhere for the E99 7.3's. After pinching one, I dug thru piles of "junk" and discovered that the thermostat gasket, even though it has a square profile is a viable replacement gasket. The 99 - 03 compressor outlets are a larger diameter and they are the ones you can find. As for the pedestal O-rings, I've never had one leak.

A great video. Thank you. I have two questions though. There seems to be confusion on the net as to what the proper torque value is for the four (4) turbocharger to pedestal bolts. The FSM says 18, Garret says 35-37 as do some other shops. 1) what torque value for the four turbocharger to pedestal bolts is best/correct ? 2) I am wondering about the four (4) pedestal to engine block bolts. I am thinking of using loctite blue [242] on those bolts, and torquing them to 18 ft lbs .. but it's the same set of O-rings as the turbo to pedestal. Any recommendations ? This is a 1994.5 Powerstroke, using a KC Turbo replacement for the TP-38, original OEM pedestal w/ EBP intact

I’m doing the double CCV mod for the passenger side (from one of your other videos), could I route that hose into a brass Y fitting and send it out the same direction as the drivers side CCV hose? Like, both CCV’s into one hose in the engine bay, and then routing one hose down the frame of the truck? Thanks!

The degree or careful cleaning is about the same as how we marines cleaned our m16 rifles back in the mid and late 1980's. United states marines that is. We used a Teflon oil of some sort and a green plastic brush, not unlike a tooth brush. No abrasives or metal brushes were allowed.
