In a M7060 with a DPF, will the wind make it thru the DPF to the turbo?
The birds would sit on its seat. Such is life.........
I'm under the impression that the only way for the turbo to spin backwards would be for air to be forced down the exhaust stack, through the muffler, any emissions contraptions, through the turbo, through an open exhaust valve, through the cylinder, through an open intake valve, through the other side of turbo, and out the air cleaner.
I'm also under the impression that if the exhaust valve is open, the intake valve will be closed. They're never open at the same time.
See animation below.
The only thing I'd be concerned about is forcing rainwater, road debris, etc... down the stack during transport.
Simple solution would be:
- Tow it backwards if possible.
- Turn the stack around.
- Put a flapper on it.
- Some kind of heat resistant bag over it with a band.
- Or, as they did at AM General when I was driving Hummers, 2.5 and 5 ton trucks out of their lots for shipment, they simply wrapped the end of the verticals stacks with duct tape while stored in the yard. We started the trucks and it would blow the tape off. We'd re-tape them once we loaded them on the rail cars and chained them down for transport.
I'm also under the impression that if the exhaust valve is open, the intake valve will be closed. They're never open at the same time.
