Message: [QUOTE="TexasJ, post: 1555391, member: 30660"] Ok guys, I just said "**** it" and pulled the turbo today again. The O rings between the pedestal and engine were in perfect shape and still in place. I separated the pedestal from the turbo and sat it on a slab of granite to check for flatness. There is the SMALLEST bit of wobble, it's absolutely miniscule. But I don't know if that's enough to cause a problem. So at this point I'm going to try to get a refund for the pedestal and send it back. I already ordered a different pedestal (this is #3) from a different company today, so we'll see if that works out better. My question, for anyone who is still listening is; when the new pedestal comes in, if it leaks too, can I put some RTV or another type of gasket maker between the engine block and pedestal to help the O rings make a better seal? Or will that create more of a problem/risk damaging my turbo? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
