[s-cars] Was leaky ISV - now I can hear it but...

[Mark Pollan]

Yeah, I came across an old physicians stethoscope while digging for some
other stuff.  Sure enough I found the/another source of hissing,
specifically at the turbo inlet.  I tightened the clamp as much I dare lest
I mangle the clamp and still some hissing.  Do you all use a constant torque
or t-bolt clamp down there?  I cannot go any tighter on the OE clamp.

 

Regards,

 

Mark

 

P.S.  Thanks Dennis!

Any ideas
on finding the offending hiss?  I have been moving things around hoping for
a change in the pitch but so far no luck.

A mechanics stethascope wroks great, but use tubing on the end and not the
metal rod they come with. If you can't find or don't have one, a simple
piece of 1/4" tubing 2-3 feet long will work. Hold end to your ear, and feed
the other end into any other suspected area. If it's hissing- you-ll hear
it.
