Question on supercharger rebuild

[shoofly36]

Does anyone know when you order a rebuild kit what greases and locktite and any other lubericants i will need or do they come with the kits?

The best thing is to send it out for $400 or buy new(what dealers do) $866 (Texas). You will need blue lock tight anyway. When you reinstall it, and any synthetic grease to lube the o-ring on the shaft when it is slipped in. The extra $400 for new is cheap insurance. The new SC is beefed up and you know it is not going to fail.

No. Not the same. The kit comes with a little dab.

It is usually in small container. Call the seller, they should be happy to send you some.

That's the worst idea ever! Just get it rebuilt by a pro. Check out Greenhulk dot net and send it to him. With shipping and new parts was way less than $400.

the cost of the OEM rebuilt kit is around 330 bucks and jerry charges 75 labor with returned shipping.. so its right at 400 bucks for a rebuild.

He never said how many hrs are on it. Jerry can tell what it needs and I doubt he needs a whole rebuild kit.

I just got a 2004 GTX SC (the 185 HP version) and it has 68 hours but I'd rather do the SC rebuild now rather than
waiting for a problem (which, in my luck would occur 15 min into the first ride...).

Some stupid questions after trying to read in this forum all things SC....

- I know that ceramic washers were the issue...I have seem to have read varying opinions regarding AFTER the washers are replaced..

- is the next rebuild time still 100 hrs?
- is there a "better rebuild with better parts" that extend this rebuild time to more hrs eg 200?

SOMEWHERE I read that there is a kit that extends this time frame to even 300 hours! Is this for newer models or did my drugs
kick in better than normal?
