Just looking for some guidance on dealing with the aftermath of having one of the bearings go bad in the supercharger on a 2007 GTX Wake. 4 of the ball bearing were still in the race. The supercharger impeller was rubbing on both sides of the housing so a lot of metal was shaved off the supercharger impeller. The clutch washers were okay. So I would think most of the metal pieces would of gone into the intake. I have done some reading about the screens on the two oil pumps but I would think since the clutch washers were okay that the oil would be clean. I am not a 4 stroke guy but figure this is a good opportunity to learn about the 4 stroke engines.
Am I right in thinking that the metal pieces most likely ended up going into the intake? So what is the next step in determining what was damaged and what needs to be repaired? I am planning to check the compression tonight. Had to pick up a new compression gauge. My old gauge did not have the right adapter for the small size plugs on the 4-tec engine. What is most likely to get damaged if the metal pieces went into the intake. Valves? Valve seats? cylinders?
any help is greatly appreciated.
