Banks Power Chevy_GMC Trucks: Diesel ’82 - 93 6.2L Forced Induction- Sidewinder Turbo System (late-body) - Manual (Page 3)

To obtain optimum performance from your BanKs
sidewinder turbo system, it is necessary to make
an adjustment to the fuel injection pump. This
adjustment is easily made by following the enclosed
instructions. However, it is extremely important that
the instructions be followed very carefully. Before
starting the injection pump adjustment procedure,
please note the following:
The engine must be cOLd (preferably overnight)
before starting the injection pump adjustment
procedure. dO nOT attempt to turn the engine over or
adjust the injection pump while the engine is warm.
To gain access to the injection pump adjusting
screw, it is necessary to rotate the engine
crankshaft, so that the screw is properly positioned.
as noted in the instructions, the crankshaft is rotated
by hand, In THe cLOcKWIse dIRecTIOn OnLY, by
turning the vibration damper mounting bolt using
an appropriate socket, extension and breaker bar.
(On some late model trucks it may be necessary to
remove the front crankshaft pulley to gain access
to the vibration damper bolt.) dO nOT ROTaTe THe
cRanKsHafT usIng THe sTaRTeR, for any reason.
even though the fuel solenoid is de-energized, the
engine can still start. This is extremely hazardous and
can result in both severe personal injury and major
mechanical damage. again when making the injection
pump adjustment, dO nOT ROTaTe THe cRanKsHafT

If you removed the front crankshaft pulley to
gain access to the vibration damper bolt, be
sure to reinstall the pulley (and belts) before starting
the engine.

(If any pages are missing from this package, please call
gaLe BanKs engIneeRIng immediately for a replace-
ment.) Become thoroughly familiar with all components
and phases of the installation before starting any work.
determine what additional tools or materials you may
need to complete the installation, and at what stages
you will require welding if it is to be done by other than
yourself.
Inspect all components supplied for any foreign
material that may have entered during shipping
and handling. Wash all fuel and oil hoses with solvent
and blow dry with compressed air before assembly.
Inspect all castings for damage resulting from shipping.
check all machined surfaces for nicks or other damage.
clean all castings with solvent and blow dry with com-
pressed air prior to assembly.
any time the vehicle is raised off its wheels, it
should be supported by jack stands or ramps of
adequate capacity for the vehicle’s weight. neVer Per-

use the Teflon tape provided on all pipe thread
connections. Hold tape back from the first two
threads of the fitting so tape will not flake off into the
fluid. (This is especially critical on oil lines.)
any threads to be secured with Loctite must be
clean, dry and free of any oil or grease. clean
threads with lacquer thinner as required.
Pay particular attention to the routing of all
hoses and wiring. Keep them away from exhaust
heat, moving parts and sharp edges that may cause
cuts or other damage. Route or tie hoses away from
critical areas as required. Keep all hoses a minimum of
1” from hot exhaust parts; 1 1 ⁄
2
” or more is recommend-
ed whenever possible.
collet stainless steel locknuts are used on the
turbo studs. The locknuts should be installed
as shown in figure 14. The nuts will spin on freely and
lock only when tightened.
Muffler and exhaust piping are not included with
this kit. an exhaust parts kit containing these
components is available separately from gaLe BanKs
engIneeRIng, or you may have a local muffler shop
fabricate the exhaust system. The BanKs 3” exhaust
system is required for emissions legal installations.
general assembly diagrams are provided in
addition to the specific step or section diagrams
noted in the text. general assembly diagrams show
relationships of individual components for reference;
however, numbered step-by-step procedures should
be followed for proper assembly sequence.
Right-hand and left-hand designations refer to
the driver’s right or left, as seated in the vehicle
(i.e. Right-hand refers to the passenger side of the vehi-
cle), unless noted otherwise.
all BanKs components are designed, tested
and manufactured to standards far exceeding
factory OeM specifications. However due to normal
variations in production vehicles, it may be necessary
to slightly modify some exhaust system components
for proper fit.
