Inspection
procedure
(1)
Rotation
of
turbine
shaft
Inspect the turbine shaft operation by listening to any abnormal sounds during running. For
inspection using a listening bar, bring the tip end of the bar
into
strong contact
with
the turbocharger
case
and raise the engine
speed
gradually. If any high pitch sounds are generated at intervals of 2
to 3
seconds,
the rotation is abnormal.
Since
the bearing or rotor may be defective in this
case,
either replace or overhaul the turbocharger.
