Sustained thermal cycles and extreme towing loads break down oil films in the center cartridge, causing shaft play, wheel abrasion against the housings, high exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs), and chronic oil loss into the charge-air piping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to original equipment tolerances, this RHG6 replacement incorporates a dynamically balanced rotating assembly housed in a heat-resistant ductile iron turbine housing.
