Did it make a hissing sound when the engine was on?

Breaker bar and small pipe - no need heat

useless!!!

I just recently replaced the turbo charger to my 2017 Encore (about $4,500). The mechanic told me the same. The metal turbo oil supply line was completely clogged. I did the research and found out it's not the turbo that goes bad, but the oil supply line that gets clogged because the metal supply line is too close to the manifold leading to oil being cooked in the oil supply line clogging it in time resulting in the turbo not getting oil. Just like arteries being clogged leading to heart attacks and strokes. This is poor engineering on Buicks part. There are two easier solutions to this problem. 1) Manufacture a custom metal tube and routing it away from the manifold or 2) Wrapping the metal supply line with a high heat resistant tape like what was done with mine. The mechanic stated most of the new replacement kits are now coming with high heat resistant tape. So, it's not that it is a faulty or poorly manufactured turbo charger. I suggest that the metal oil supply line be changed "often" in order to prevent premature turbo replacement. It only cost around $30 to $50 depending on where you buy it. Much cheaper than a turbo (ouch!!!). Also change the oil sooner than the recommended oil change is suggested. Keep in mind, even though you may change your oil on time or sooner, does not guarantee the oil supply line will not get clogged, even with the high heat resistant tape.

Thanks 💯💯💯

Appreciate the help 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Thank you

Never use extension if you want torque on impact

Whut about the emergency brake ?

Do you have a link for the parts you ordered?

Don’t ever use Harbor freight paint guns. I know from experience.

Heck yea Bro. Good looking out

Thanks for the help! I was looking for the sensor and couldn't find it. Guess it was just blocked from view by the intake piping.

Good job 👍🏼

Just did the same thing on my 85 c10

Can you show me how you hook up your carburetor mainly on the throttle side im having problems with the exact car and carburetor

Is that whistling normal??

Can I suggest you use a laser pointer for better identification of various parts and brackets 😊

ah yes before chevy started making trash

You show an engine. Show us how strong it is......

Seeing this makes me want to replace the knuckle

On this particular repair for the O2 sensor downstream having a hard time seeing exactly where it's located from your point of view are you under

What kind of ground beef do you feed her?

Life saver bro

You got the wrong coolant in there my boy

Good work but your videos are really really not of the teaching style. At all.

I have this same blower but it doenst throw snow that far ever. It has a new belt on it also. Any ideas?

That coolant line is the fucking reason why very engineer who designed or signed off on this placement to be fired AND blacklisted from working in any automotive position ever.

I have a TH700R4. My TV cable doesn't self-adjust like that but it should normally. What i do whenever i need to readjust when swaping carburetors, i back out the high step screw so that the throttle rests on its curb idle position. Press and hold button on the TV cable housing while pressing down push in the nipple, then simply press again and it retracts to its proper travel without touching the throttle. It's usually not adjusted in this manner. Mine might be broken. It should self retract when throttle is pulled given if it has proper geometry regrading their brackets. I can swap the TV Cable for another but this has worked for my step without any issues so i don't consider the hassle of swapping. If the TV Cable doesn't hold its position within the housing, absolutely replace it. I've seen people place screws and wire to keep it from sliding out. Now that's just looking for trouble.

You need the emergency brake bar
