I never had to take off the rad, yet.

How many miles on your M45? What are the ambient temps your motor is sucking?

Here's some fuzzy pics in service mode. That's all you'd have to do to re and re your blower/water pump.

Hey rhubbard, was something on your car leaking a lot? There seems to be a lot of oil stains on the water pump and below that. Perhaps that is what you were fixing.

I'm thinking that 'S' isn't running an oil catch can. The inlet side of my blower wasn't that sprayed up and I'm not running an oil catch can.

Is that bolt Thru the Case.
I just want to see how the supercharger mounted to the Block If anyone has pics of the block mounting face. that would help.
Im thinking my coating is wearing off and im worried that the waterpump gears are failling.

Pics aren't going to help you young man. For what you seek you must pull the front end off and start studying . It's easy and actually fun to do.

How many miles on your car with the 15%? Was there any black crap in your IC last time you took it off? And lastly, do you hear any noise coming from your SC on the waterpump side?

seems like you just want a stroker, and (something)! you *****.

No soft spots here. Well Except for my Growing Gut.... Yikes.
And No stroker for me. Cant afford it. Hopefully i can find an alternitive to that. To satisfy my car is not fast enough feeling. I got pulled By a stock Srt-4 with three people in his car. How sad is that.

That was one of the many ideas. That and adding more Hampster power.
I cant afford that Guniea pig that Jan has.

Here's another shot minus the supercharger. I believe it mounts to that boss in the middle of the block and the boss with the 2 holes that is to the left. I bust out my spare S/C that is laying around and take some shots of that too.

It looks like there is a bolt right above the alternator and possibly one right below the intake port on the SC.
