Hello all.
FYI (if you haven't read my recent posts): I lost a seal for my supercharger (for the bearings) that was located on the nose drive under the idler pulley.
NAPA auto parts told me that a company called "Magna" highly recommends me getting a whole new kit to replace it for $100, plus a few days of shipping and handling. The man I'm working with from NAPA told me that he can order me a seal that fits my bearings for less than $20, and my supercharger will be ready as soon as they assemble it today. I said, "Why would I pay the $100 for it if I can do it for $20?" He said that it is more likely that the seal that he can order will come off than the actual seal from the manufacturing company.
My question is.....do you think a seal that NAPA can order for me would come off easily? I mean, if the seal fits right, then it should work just like the seal from the manufacturing company, I would think. But, I'm not the expert, so that's why I'm asking the opinion of those of you who may know a little more!!!
Thanks,
Jamie
