Okay, here it is (I posted links so I wouldn't overload everyone, and for those rookies out there, notice I put the bolts back in the holes they came out of before I could lose them) Formatting all screwed up because of the servers software problems. Many duplicate pics. (This was happening to everyone back then) Sorry:

What fresh and clean sc oil looks like through the plug hole. Yes, you are actually looking at oil. Should be as clear as water:

Advice? Have some extra vacuum hose handy. Several different sizes. You'll break some in the process of tearing this down.

Any questions?

Wow...excellent work Will

I'm just going to sit quietly in corner over here and WISH my engine could look like that.

Congrats on a job well done, and nice pics!! Time to beg daddio to get a new camera for us...heheh

wow, that engine is clean

There'* a few here that are as clean as mine. It'* worth a couple cans of gunk. If you ever get a leak, you know it. It'* actually easy to get them that way. JSeabert next door is as clean as me, and he'* got 180,000 on his car.

So did you service the supercharger just because the coupler caused it to make noise at idle? Or was something else wrong with it too? DId you consider replacing the bearings and nose oil seal while you were at it?

I hope you have better luck than I did - within a few hundred miles after I took mine apart and replaced the coupler (with a black OEM coupler), the nose seal began leaking oil badly. I can only conclude that simply replacing the old supercharger oil with new supercharger oil caused the seal on mine to fail. It was filled to the base of the threads, so it didn't rupture due to excessive pressure...when I took it apart again and replaced the nose oil seal, it was obvious that the teflon portion of the seal was freely spinning with the shaft when the shaft was rotated. The teflon is sandwiched between the 2 metal layers of the seal.

This same type of seal failure happened on another of my superchargers too - this one only had 30,000 miles but the seal failed after the oil was replaced. What rotten luck, huh?

I did this for strictly documentation purposes and because I wanted to. We've got a couple couplers going out here (and my Boss'* 95 SC Buick Riv), and nobody had documented this procedure yet. Mine had a TINY amount of noise at idle, and it turned out to be a slight amount of wear on the coupler. I also wanted to change the coupler before the smaller pulley goes on. I'll worry about the seals when they start pissing. It doesn't take that long to do this. I don't mind doing it again. This also gave me the chance for a good complete flush of the old oil. It'* the only way to do it.

I'm not expecting any problems with only 80k on the car. I'll deal with them when I do!

Did anyone catch the bearing numbers in the nose cone? Come spring im looking at doing a complete tune up and serviceing the super charger at the same time.
