Avoid contact with hot surfaces. Exhaust piping and engine components become hot during engine operation and cool slowly after engine shutdown. Any contact with hot surfaces can cause severe burns.
Periodic inspection and cleaning are recommended for the turbocharger compressor housing (inlet side).Fouling of the compressor can contribute to loss of engine power, increased black smoke and overall loss of engine efficiency.If the turbocharger fails during engine operation, damage to the turbocharger compressor wheel and/or to the engine may occur. Damage to the turbocharger compressor wheel could allow parts from the compressor wheel to enter an engine cylinder. This can cause additional damage to the pistons, the valves, and the cylinder head.
Turbocharger bearing failures can cause large quantities of oil to enter
