I do have pics...just not at work with me. I will post some when I get a chance. I was told that these blowers are adjusted by shimming the gears in and out and that it does not have a robust fastening system to keep the rotors in time. I have not torn the blower down yet to see what came out of adjustment. I am new to forced induction so somebody chime in if I was told wrong here.

My rotor hit the top of the case on the cross bar that connects to the opposite case side. The gooey aluminum wadded up on the one rotor and created a wedge locking it up.
Anybody know if they can rebuild a blower in this state? Can the case be repaired? Can the rotors be repaired?
Is yours a Weiand 256?

On the 4th my blower self destructed rotors hitting the case. What happens the shavings that go through the motor? I would think on a NA motor the cam overlap would blow them out if the did not melt in the chamber. How does this work on a Blower motor? Should I be worried in any way? Maybe do a compression check?

I've seen things as small as a pencil tip destroy an engine, and have watched items the size of a washer get spit out of the exhaust without hurting a part.
For the cost of a set of gaskets to take the engine apart and inspect it, it's not worth not doing.

So...after the blower siezed, popped the belt off and it would not go past 800rpm in gear! I had the slowest tri-tune on the lake! Idled back to the sand bar, cracked a beer and wrote the day off. A guy walks up and says he has a W256 straight from merc on his garage shelf! $1100 and its yours...showed up on the marina dock the next morning and was out on the lake july 4th by 11am. The blower still had blue masking tape on it from merc. Mailed the guy a check the next week!

Take the engine apart!!!
