How much would you pay to stop the turbo drain from leaking?

[norbs]

Every Gn in the world the turbo drain leaks. How much would you pay to have a reuseable gasket that would not leak ever! ANy interest in this? I am working on a product to fix this once and for all!

"WRONG" I haven't had a leak in 6 years, not since I use permatex gasket sealer on the gasket (not form a gasket aka silocone). no you will never reuse the gasket but the gaskets a cheap from GM.

Permatex Indian Head sealant. The best for that.

 

[Turbo Indian]

I'm sorry it's called permatex super "300" form-a-gasket sealant.
it comes in a 4 oz white brush in bottle can part #80057. put a thin layer on both sides of the gasket & "NO LEAKS"

not to rain on your parade norbs

I change my turbo very often though, Well i'm sure it will catch on this is going to be a slick setup when i'm done

Norb with all the changes velcro won't seal oil.

I also have had my turbo off a number of times with no leakes. I also changed from the stock flex hose to a braided hose. The steel flex hose will crack over time.

Good Luck

Prolly compression fittings
Since I am so good do I get the first free...

 

[norbs]

not compression fittings, something with o-ring design. It will be fool proof also.

Only 2 people interested in this from 11,000 members? I guess no ones oil drain leaks

Norbs, I just ordered a Turbo drain tube from John's today for $46.00 Nice design. I cant wait to install it when it gets here. I looked on the parts section and every single tube i could find was sold. But thanks to you other guys for the gasket info!!

Nord.Something like this?

or this?

Permatex 300, or even ultra copper works well. To line things up better, I also use studs instead of the normal bolts most people use. Makes it easier to line things up to insure a leak free seal. Knock on wood, I've never had a leak there.

I would pay good money for someone to design a C-clip eliminator kit that didn't leak on a street car though.. And, don't tell me to fix it by welding on Ford ends!

Mine doesn't leak but if it's anything as trick as what Big mike posted, I may be interested anyway

 

[norbs]

Nice pics mike, but nothing that flashy, just a simple o-ring design. Thanks for the pics though

 

[Little6pack]

I thought this post was about $$$$ wasted on GN's in general

 

[87buick3825]

I have never had one leak as long as you use a new gasket think they are .50 from GM

 

[norbs]

They leak only on Canadian cars, must be the cold weather,
