due to noisy bearings, Ive rebuilt my sc snout twice according to Dr. Freds instructions, only i used kbc bearings. the first time i left the dust shields on and the new bearings crapped out after about 3 or 4 days, they started rattling again. which i think was really just the front bearing. im pretty sure it didnt get enough fluid because the shields on the rear bearing blocked the fluid passage way to the front bearing, burning it out. the second time i replaced the bearings, i took both shields off (apparently they have higher rpm ratings without shields due to less friction) stood the charger up vertically and poured 4 oz of fluid in through the front bearing (without the pulley and seal on), then i sealed the front put on the pulley and filled the blower at the fill hole, which took about 3-4 more oz. i started the car and this time it was only quiet for a few minutes before i started rattling away again, i didnt evern get a chance to rev it up, it went kaput after only idling. what am i doing wrong? is it the bearings im using? the stock ones are nsk, made in japan, these ones are kbl made in korea, the guy at the store assured me that they were both made to the same international standard. could it just be ****** bearings? im starting to very fed up with this thing, anyone have any ideas, suggestions or know different bearings or parts numbers that have been successful.
thanks
