Turbo Mounting Gaskets and Sealing Components

A successful turbocharger installation depends on high-quality sealing materials. Diesel Pro Power supplies gaskets and compounds designed to endure the high temperatures and pressures associated with turbo operation on QSM11 engines.

Turbo Mounting Gasket

This gasket seals the interface between the turbo and the exhaust manifold or elbow. It's crucial to preventing exhaust leaks and maintaining proper boost pressure.

Key Benefits:

• Made with heat-resistant materials
  
  

• Designed for Cummins QSM11, M11, and ISM engine compatibility
  
  

• Prevents soot buildup and performance loss
  
  

Turbo Oil Supply Gasket

Installed at the oil inlet to the turbocharger, this gasket maintains a leak-free seal to ensure consistent oil delivery to the turbo bearings.

Important Notes:

• Always replace when installing a new or rebuilt turbo
  
  

• Reduces the risk of oil starvation and bearing failure
  
  

• Compatible with standard QSM11 turbo oil feed lines

Cummins QSM11 Turbo System Maintenance Guidelines

Proactive maintenance of your turbo system helps prevent costly failures and ensures long engine life. Here are some key practices to follow when servicing or upgrading your Cummins QSM11 turbocharger system:

Pre-Oiling the Turbo

Before starting the engine after a new turbo install, manually fill the turbo with oil to prevent dry startup wear.

Monitor Boost and Exhaust Temperatures

Install reliable gauges to keep track of turbo boost pressure and exhaust gas temperature (EGT). Sudden changes can indicate issues with the turbo, wastegate, or intake plumbing.

Replace Gaskets and Seals

Never reuse turbo gaskets or oil seals during a replacement. Even small leaks can result in performance loss, soot buildup, or oil starvation.

Inspect for Shaft Play

Check for axial or radial play in the turbo shaft during every major service interval. Excess movement may signal a failing bearing or unbalanced turbo assembly.
