Default Engine problem - Seneca II

I wonder if the bearings could be changed out as opposed to replacing the
entire turbo.


Yes, along with the seals. However, when you pull the compressor off the
shaft to slide the bearings off, you disturb the balance. Balance is
critical at 130k rpm. Then there is that pesky FAA thing about engine
accessories having to be overhauled at a repair facility.

Do you use Marvel Mystery Oil?
