Engine Ticking????

Yeah that helped. Thanks! But I am kind of confused on the whole belt wrap thing?? Also, where exactly do i put the anaerobic sealer?
Click to expand...

The belt wrap is something aftermarket that I have on my supercharger to help prevent belt slip with smaller pulleys, something I'm assuming your car probably doesn't need yet lol. I wanted to help and take pictures, but unfortunately I can't just take it off that easily, and I also didn't want to confuse you. Basically don't mind my belt wrap, just pretend it isn't there :)

The anaerobic sealer goes on the mating surface where the snout meets the rest of the supercharger. Once you pull it apart you'll see what we're talking about. It's just like any other gasket surface, make sure to clean any leftover residue/gunk that may cause an improper seal.
 


My neighbor has a torque wrench he is letting me use but it only goes down to 20 in / lbs and I read that the bolts need to be tightened to 15 in / lbs? What do I do? Torque wrenches are so dang expensive that I dont want to go buy one because I will probably never use it again!
 
Am i screwed? I replaced the coupler today but when i took the snout off i ripped some cardboard looking part. I think it is the supercharger gasket. I covered the underside of the lim in anaerobic sealer so i hope it won't leak.do you think it will?
 


The supercharger gasket does overlap some on the bottom under the snout where is bolted down to the LIM, I don't see an issue there as part of the gasket that seals the 2 is not touched.


A picture could help though.
 
yup thats the gasket i was talking about trying not to break.

keep a eye on it, if it was gonna leak, it would leak soon after you fired up the car.
 
My dad helped and i was like be careful when you pull off the snout and he like yanked it off and i saw it broke. >:(
 


it snaps off easy, i broke mine too. as long as it dont leak, dont worry. one day you'll do your lim gaskets and have to change the sc gasket.
 
it sure did, i used rtv on the bolt threads and it sealed it up. then i did my lim gaskets 2 years later and replaced that gasket. cause you need to.
 


top of the lim, bottom of the snout, where the gasket broke off.

or take the bolt out, smear rtv all over it and then put it back in, thats all i did.
 
I dont see it leaking, its such a big gasket and its pushed down in 3 spots, it wont cause a vacuum leak.

talking about sc oil. the end of the sc gasket meets the end of the lim where the snout bolts through it. i broke my gasket end off and leaked oil from where that bolt goes. same has happened to a few others. some its not a problem.
