Upper intake gasket usually comes with injection return line replacement kits, which you need anyway. You want to replace all the injection return lines & replace the glow plugs on the passenger side before you mount the turbo, because they will be totally inaccessible after. Use some heat...

Are you looking for the gaskets to install the turbo (only 2: exhaust manifold-to-turbo & turbo oil outlet), or are you rebuilding the turbo? I rebuilt my GM-3 and it was a big PITA, lots of little parts. If I had to do it over I would send it out for a rebuild. Either way, you can get rebuild...

Ya it sure is. I wrapped the manifold with header wrap and still had hot-start issues until I put spark-plug wire insulating sleeve around #4 & #6 injector lines. See my thread "M1009 lift/turbo buildup." The '93 6.5TD turbo-donor engine had a 8" wide metal heat shield that attached to the valve...

For the oil supply line I used the stock one from the '93 donor 6.5TD (looks like AN-4 maybe? about 1/8" ID) which threads into the port normally used for the oil pressure sensor at the driver's rear of the block (I remounted the sensor at the other end near the turbo). It wasn't long enough but...

On my install, using parts from a '93 6.5TD, the driver-side manifold would not clear the oil cooler lines, so I ended up re-using the 6.2NA driver-side manifold. The crossover pipe is 1/4" larger dia. than the stock exhaust, but was still able to mate with the stock manifold after I elongated...

Patracy: "I cursed at the truck installing that manifold and gaskets. The guy I bought the engine setup from, must have installed it on the engine before installing the entire thing into the truck. He had studs that simply wouldn't clear during the install. I ended up inserting all the...

Patracy: "kapnklug, lot's of incorrect statements." Just curious what you find incorrect in my post #60 (BTW there's no apostrophe in "lots"). I'm not trying to engage in a peeing contest; just don't see anything incorrect. I mention that short 6.5 injectors (in stock form) can deliver more...

Timber -- I just installed a '93 6.5 Turbo manifold on my 85 M1009, and yes the clearance between the manifold and the #4 and #6 injectors is VERY tight, even with 2 exh. gaskets I had to make sure the flare nuts on the injectors were horizontal, then even carefully grind a flat onto the...

I'm finding out pretty quickly that it's the little "nickle-n-dime" expenses that get you on a turbo project -- I bought a "complete" turbo setup on Ebay for $615 delivered to my door, that included literally every nut, bolt and washer bagged and labelled. But all the little details, like a...

Here are some useful GM part #'s: 12563904 Turbo Oil return tube/hose 10149659 Turbo oil ret. plate to engine 12562378 Turbo oil Supply hose As far as the return plate to the engine, it would be easy enough to make one, just use the stock piece as a template for 1/8" steel and weld an NPT...

I'm working on the same project, although I haven't installed the turbo oil lines yet, I do have the parts to look at. The supply line runs from the 1/4" pipe plug above where the oil cooler lines enter the block, to the turbo, then the return line runs down to a plate where the mechanical fuel...

How did you move the CDR valve in front of the airfilter? Did you have to fabricate a new bracket and hoses? I have the stock CDR off the donor 6.5 turbo, I wonder if it will work on the 6.2? Do you have any pix of the completed engine? I'd like to see the CDR location and also curious what an...
