How have you taken care of the leaking turbo pipes on the 444e engines? We have bought two kits from international, however, they now sell them for over $350.00 a piece.

Has anyone used Autojets pipes for this application?

We changed one today, and it was a bear. We had to r&r the starter to get the back bolts off the manifold.

Only 6 more buses left before our April 23rd inspection.

Been there done that! There is no easy way to get the old pipes off but at least the new International kits have an improved design that does'nt leak for a very long time. We have the high torque version of the T444E in Amtran RE buses and it's a bear to get to those manifold connections.
