Sinister Diesel Pedestal O-Ring Kit 99.5-03 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke
Description
One of the most common oil leaks in the 7.3L Ford Powerstroke stems from the turbo pedestal. The pedestal has 4 o-rings where oil can start to leak from. Oil leaks in this area could lead to turbocharger failure, engine damage, and even an engine fire. Even if these diesel o-rings aren't currently leaking, it is recommended that you replace them anytime you remove the turbocharger whether it be for upgrades or repairs. Be sure to remove and replace the lower pedestal o-rings whenever you're servicing the turbocharger to avoid the added time and cost of dealing with a pedestal leak down the road. The Sinister Diesel o-rings are constructed from a durable synthetic polymer called Viton, which meets SAE J200 standards for heat, aging and oil resistance. The o-ring design is precision molded to meet or exceed OEM standards, to keep your Powerstroke running properly. This kit comes with four diesel o-rings (two for the pedestal to the engine block and two for the turbo to the pedestal). Follow factory torque procedures for proper installation, which is 18 lb-ft to tighten the pedestal to the block and 35-37 lb-ft to tighten the turbo to the pedestal.
About Sinister Diesel
Sinister stands for everything diesel and they have made a name for themselves manufacturing some of the highest quality diesel engine components in the industry. The Sinister Diesel brand was born out of an idea from the founders while working on one of their own trucks. What if they started their own diesel performance business manufacturing and selling high quality air intake, fuel, and engine components? That idea transpired into the Sinisterl Diesel we know today. In order to make sure that when you popped the hood, you could easily distinguish a œSinister branded part from other companies, nearly everything they manufacture is coated in their trademarked œSinister Blue. Whether you drive a Cummins, Powerstroke, or Duramax, they can outfit your entire truck with cold air intakes, fuel tank sumps, oil filtration, regulated fuel return kits, and so much more. If you're looking for quality performance parts at a great price, look no further than Sinister!
