Bob, You may want to consider circulating engine oil after shutdown. There is a pre-lubing device called the pre-luber that circulates engine oil through all galleys the oil pump services and does this before (to avoid dry starts) and after, this feature primarily cooling down oil cooled turbos. If I turbo-ed an engine I would definitey go this way. This system is employed by UPS for thier delivery vans for they have well proven that the pre-lubrication vastly extends engine life. Drawback- they are about $400.00. Type in Preluber into Alta Vista and you can get all you want. Regards Mark B. Magee 87GL 83K Kemah TX USA
