[urq] K26 rebuild

[Bill Bennett]

Justin, do not worry, you are correct, and Bob is surprisingly off planet on his reply to you, an aircooled turbo? reverse nostril event! damn, that hurt! snort! all turbos are oil cooled, the K-24 gets auxiliary water cooling that the K-26 does not to prevent coke deposits on shut down heat soak that a K-26 can only avoid by a idle cycle, mine at 141K miles would be a good case in point of "idle time" Bill
