My wear ring makes contact with my factory prop, the prop is in slightly questionable shape with some rugged edges here and there, I sanded them down for the most part
The prop has a small but noticable gap between itself and the wear ring for most of the 'clockface but at the 5-o'clock position the blade makes contact with the wear ring and destroys that portion of the wear ring almost immediately. I can not turn the prop by hand, I've heard people suggest to just run it and it will shave away the excess, but it does more than just shave, it gouges and chips the ring. I've gone thru 2 wear rings because of this
The Question:
Is it the wear rings fault, the props fault, or the housings fault?
If so the ring, should I sand down the surface of a new ring at the 5-o'clock position?
If so the housing, should I sand down the housing?
If so the prop which Solas prop is recommended for a 96' GSX 787?
Waiting patiently for the legendary mikidymac to chime in with his ever expansive retro two-banger knowledge
