I have had my 8-71 for 2 years and am changing the front gear lube every spring and inspecting / packing the rear every other year. Remember that the blower is under pressure and gets very hot, so the seals can go bad.
Good morning happy new year quick question. I’m interested in putting a blower on my car. I’m in the process of building a 440 small block Mopar, Stroker what size piston would I need for one of your blowers to make about 6 to 800 hp
Whats the cost to put new shafts if they were to be spun in the bearing as you explained. Thanks for all the info. Juat got me the same blower. Could you tap in a sight glass like you tapped the drain and level .
On a street car that sees occasional strip use, occasional being twice a year down the 1/8th mile, on a 355 sbc with a weiand 6-71, how often should a well maintained 6-71 need a total rebuild?
It all depends on total hours of usage. By maintaining the blower and checking the oil once a year and noticing the bearings, you will be able to see the ware. So in your case, maybe ever few years sending it in for a rebuild which includes bearings, seals and gaskets in the rebuild. Call 208-985-7650 with any questions.
Great tips! Harder to find informative blower videos like this. Please make more!
Thanks Sean!

Do you have a diagram on how to plumb supper chillers
What type of grease do you use for supercharger bearings
It's a lithium based wheel bearing grease. 👍
Thankz for the info 😎🤛
Will a 6-71/8-71 cover fit on my 3-71?
I've heard you're not supposed to run gear oil with methanol. Is this true?
