Thanks again. Another dumb question: is it possible that there would be
oil leaking
Where these gland nuts attach to the supercharger case?
Scooter--
The intake induction tubes alternately operate at both positive and negat
ive
pressure (compared to ambient) so leaks are either blown out of the tubes
by
positive supercharger pressure--when manifold pressure is above ambient a
t
full throttle/high RPM--or you may have a leak from somewhere else that i
s
showing up on the tubes. At lower manifold pressures (below ambient) you
will be sucking air into the tubes through any leaks, leaning the fuel/ai
r
mixture. While there is obviously oil in the supercharger section to
lubricate the parts, oil coming out of the tubes could be an indication o
f
an internal oil leak in the blower section. What I would expect to see
normally is fuel stains from the fuel/air mixture going from the
supercharger to the cylinders--shouldn't be much oil in that mixture. A
more likely source of oil would be leaking rocker box covers, or from
cylinder bases, with the oil blown back onto the intake tubes/blower sect
ion
or from something leaking in the accessory section.
