Matthew Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hi Everybody, I'm a newbe on this forum though I drive my 1985 Turbo for 9 years now. Reading this forum I'm in awe about the huge amount of knowledge and experience. Having said that, can anyone tell me if the stainless-steel o-ring that fits between the turbo charger and the exhaust manifold has a useable replacement? The Peugeot code is 0374.02. For a brief moment I was thinking about a thin sheet of brass, but its melting point may be far too low. Suggestions are welcome.

Bean Posted June 20, 2006 Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 I'm not sure you even use a gasket there.... I thought it was just a flange joint - and if memory serves - I've never run anything there except some high heat anti-seize - never had a problem with leaks either - course my car is an 86 so the 85 might have a different flange - that sounds a little familiar... As for materials - Subaru's just use thin metal gaskets, I'm sure you could use some stainless sheet steel cut to your pattern should you need to.

Matthew Posted June 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2006 Yes, you can see it clearly at: http://kotinetti.suomi.net/enkenberg/Peuge...ia_peug_01.html The ring fits the moat-like groove. Maybe V-M can comment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bean Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 Man - I gotta read more thoroughly! I had it my head that you were talking about the turbo to downpipe connection - my apologies. I've only had one turbo apart from the manifold and I just reused the exisiting gasket with no issues. Not sure what you could use instead - maybe a steel turbo gasket from another car that could be modified? Best luck might be to take it to a muffler shop to see what they can suggest - they see so many systems they might recall something that will work for you...

V-M Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi, Yes, there is insulation ring in manifold side. Difficul to find original and no replenisment found yet. I have used old one many times without problems. V-M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted June 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 All, Thanks for the responses. I agree that reuse is the best possible option... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the505inme Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 All, Thanks for the responses. I agree that reuse is the best possible option... Whoever re/re er my cyl head before me left one out, so I only had three. I went to the local auto parts store, and bought a length of stainless steel exuast pipe, and cut what I needed. It was not the same quality as the Peugeot ones, but it was the exact same diameter. The Peug ones look like they could last forever ( as long os you don't loose them) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Thanks for the responses. I indeed didn't mean the "flame" rings that are inserted between cilinder head and exhaust manifold. The ones that love to misalign when you just managed to get the manifold right I meant the o-ring that fits between the "other" end of the exhaust manifold and the turbo. Anyway: the suggestion of creating your own stainless-steel o-ring should work out just fine in case the ring's lost. If my memory serves me right the dimensions are (have to check): 60mm OD 53mm ID 3.6mm high Matthew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
