Yes I read that as well and this is true. Rebuild time and see what she dos after that.

Tom, can you get it rebuilt asap and re dyno? That would be cool.

Engine goes in Saturday. I have a friend of a friend that works on big diesels. I'm told that he may be able to get the blower done at his shop, quickly.

Dyno'ing again... I'm going to run it for now, but I'll probably pull it at the end of the season and hit it again.

Got the blower to the shop today... .016 clearance between the strips and the case. Yep, it was far from being "recently rebuilt."

The good news is that it'll be ready in a couple of weeks (unless some other issue pops up with this blower).
