what do you mean by the seal? Pics?

Ill get some pics I have the part at work right now cause was having my friend in the machine shop working on it. But on the supercharger shaft housing it has the flange at the end and it looks like a separate part thats attached to it.

oh ok i get you, i'd say get a new one made at a machine shop and weld it on. You can run without that part for a while if you need to, just keeps things from getting caught in the shaft while its spinning, ie. fingers, toes, etc lol

Here is a pic of the shaft houseing.

I've got one, but It would be a huge _____ to ship I would think.

couldn't you wrap it in bubble wrap and send it in one of those tube shippers?

Yea the outer ring just chipped off i got the piece but that doesn't hold oil back or anything?

no, the purpose of that whole shaft cover is to keep your fingers and objects from touching the rotating shaft.

i wonder how the flip that happened in the first place though?

Probably overtorqued

lol the bolts holding those brackets are supposed to be torque to like 14 inch-pounds ;) Thats hand tightening.

Yea I just got the supercharger kit used and have it here at my work my buddy in our machine shop is taking it apart for me and this is what i found I was hoping it was just a seal.

^ is it leaking oil also?

boardriderxxx

I was just told it has a slight leak from the pully and blower side of the shaft I found the bearing is shot on the pully side and the shaft housing was chipped on the blower side were it looks like it could leak oil from.

If the bearings were bad on the pulley side, make sure your housing and shaft were not worn. If the shaft is worn even 0.5mm the new bearings you put on there will be toast in a matter of months. Have your buddy at the machine shop check it out, the inside diameter of the bearings is 25mm he should be able to check if the shaft is within tolerance.

Ok thanks any ideas on the shaft housing?
