Got the NTC 350 from a 77 OTR truck yesterday. Thing supposedly has a rod hangning in it but I find no damage to the oil pan or block, need to pull the pan and look. I bought the thing from an old farmer for the turbo setup, aftercooler, and the 25A Jake setup. so for $200 I aint out much if the bottom end isnt rebuildable.
So, Im pulling the above setups and cleaning the surface rust/gunk off, The turbo is a AR12600 or VT-50. I took it apart and found the square bearing retainer plate/bearing is stuck to the compressor side of the shaft. I soaked it in Kroil last nite and will attempt to work on it some more tonite. Does anyone know much about these old snail shells???? Namely, what to watch for or tricks to dissasembly, Is there a rebuild kit availible.???????
