"All four of the turbo charger
"All four of the turbo chargers on my twin 6V-53TI’s (model year 1987) blow a little exhaust past the flanges held by the V-clamps. It leaves soot deposits on the risers and sound shields over time, which is really messy to clean up.
On one of the turbos, I lightly refaced the mating surfaces with a flat file and installed a new clamp, but when I fired up I could still see a light puff of smoke coming from the flange connection. With all four turbos doing this, I am wondering if this is just the nature of the beast or I haven’t found the solution yet. Your thoughts would be appreciated."
