5.4.8. Periodic inspection and maintenance
The turbocharger assembly must be inspected periodically.
1) Revolving state and inspection points of rotor
Inspection on the revolving state of rotor is performed according to abnormal noises. In case of using
an acoustic bar, touch the turbocharger housing with a tip of bar and raise the engine revolution
slowly, Then, in case that high sound is heard by every 2 ~ 3 sec. continuously, for there should be
the possibility to be abnormal metal and rotor, replace or repair the turbocharger.
2) End play inspecting points of rotor
Disassemble the turbocharger from the engine and should inspect the end plays in axial and
circumference direction. In case of disassembling the turbocharger, the oil inlet and outlet should
necessarily be sealed with a tape.
a) Axial direction end play

Wear limit : 0.20 mm
b) Rotor’s circumference direction end play
z
Wear limit : 0.65 mm
c) In case that the end plays to axial and circumference directions, replace or repair the
turbocharger.
