Getting past the rings?

Getting past the rings?

dunno, there 2 rings on the main shaft right above the exhaust wheel that spring lock it to the center section, guessing theyre supposed to be opposed to each other but were all gunked up and nearly aligned together. going to grab an inline filter for the oil feed line also

i believe most of the "smart" coils are all the same... the use a 5 pin connector, dedicated ground to battery, dedicted ground to head, dedicated power with 40amp relay required for each bank, and then the ecm signal +/-.

i was/am close to start migrating over to a holley dominator, their big wire ignition kit is probably what ill start with, and grab a few components here and there that will be an upgrade and can also just with the dominator.

Yikes! Together those two (coils and dominator) put a dent in the pocketbook real quick, but damn aren’t they just the cats meow. I’ll be curious how well they work out for you.

That sure looks like it might be the case. Good eye on that one.

Thx. I had a GN and when I used to romp on it oil would get past the rings--on the old motor before it was rebuilt.

Oh nah, this is just leaking out of the center section of the turbo out the shaft into the exhaust side

Oil from the oil feed(oil cooling)line?

Oil from the oil feed(oil cooling)line?

yea theres a groove in the shaft that looks like it should have an oring to keep the oil in. it's either hardened up and stuck in the housing or disintegrated

Right there
