So, last week I was working out some driveability issues with the car. Putt-sing around town, feeling pretty good that I had it fixed, and my blower started making some nasty noises. Luckily I was close to a tractor trailer late night repair facility and borrowed a couple wrenches to get my blower belt off.
Drove it home, and I gotta say, this car is so damned quiet without the blower belt on. It was almost a sigh of relief because the engine purrs along so smooth.
Anyways, I took the blower off last night and the case is ruined, rotors are ruined. MPX DID NOT FAIL JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. Rear bearings are intact just fine. One of my rotors has way too much side to side movement, whatever bearing holds that rotor is junk. So once again, I have a ruined blower, ruined rotors, and I'm kinda pissed.
Charles is a great guy to do business with and has offered to help me out on buying a new case. Just kinda venting on what to do next. I'm starting to think turbo or whipple. I don't know if I can fathum another M90 with my luck, and I hate to buy the same thing twice like this. The rotors came out of a blower that had been assembled by Magnum powers a while back, so I figured they were rebuilt. Turns out, thats not the case typically according to him. I wish I would have known this before, I thought those things were ready to go.
