S366 install help

02POWERSTROKE7.3 · Jul 5, 2013

Installed a s366 in my 04 6.0 this week. Got everything together started the truck and its pushing oil out the oil filter cap and turbo stopped turning, removed oil fill cap and same thing happened. Pulled the oil drain off and im not getting any oil coming out the oil drain. Anyone have any ideas?

Is the feed line pushing oil into the turbo?

02POWERSTROKE7.3 · Jul 5, 2013

Yes. Oil is feeding in. no oil coming out. I believe the oil is stopping the turbo from spinning

Did you leave the plug in the drain when you installed it? Stupid question I know, or the drain to the hpop cover is clogged somehow.

No plug in drain. Just disassembled turbo per seller/sponsors directions. Cleaned all oil passages and reassembled turbo. Filled feed line and oil will still not feed through turbo.

just wondering, did you buy the turbo new or used?

If the charger is off the truck, try pouring some in the top of it and see if it dribbles out. We have done that with ours just to get the bearings ready for the first spin. At least it would eliminate that part.

Turbo is new. No oil will come come out of drain.

can you blow air through the oil inlet and get any air out of the drain?

Cannot blow through it by mouth. With regulated air barley get anything through it.

If you want, you can send it in for me to look at, did I sell you the turbo?

During or pm's i didnt realize you werent getting oil flow through the turbo.

Sounds to me like the bushings or bearings in the turbo were possibly installed wrong blocking the oil drain. The hole in the bushing is not lined up right blocking the drain. Just sayin. Really what else could it be. :shrug::

Likely possible.

Op Was this a new turbo when you installed it?

I took it apart to check that. They were installed correctly. They went back in how they should go.

Turbo did not come from you. Came from another sponsor on this site.

Sounds to me with what your describing the turbo not spinning. The bearing to shaft clearance is to tight. There has to be a bit of clearance for the oil to go throu. I would send it back. It's to tight. That's why oil won't go thru and also why it's not spinning. You should have a little up and down movement on the shaft. If its tight there's something assemble wrong or put together with wrong parts.

I agree with this, I think seller put a cheap rebuild kit in it and cleaned it up to look like new. Sponsor does not want to stand behind it and refund my money. Looks like im eating the cost of this one.
