I have two questions for ya. How and why?
02-16-2008
Ever play with the rotors and get your finger caught in them? Sucks. I got my finger bitten by those gears hurt a little bit LOL.

3 jaw puller, took about 10 minutes.
Remeber my dry film lubrication thread? That's why.
02-16-2008
Ohhhhh yeah. Nice thinking Ron. Any progress on that?
02-16-2008
Hey, now looking at your picture more, is that just a bushing in the plate or is that a roller bearing there?
02-16-2008
Roller bearing. Looks like to reaasemble, press the bearing to the shaft, then press the shaft/rotor into the plate. I can make a press for it no problem too. If it works out, I may be able to offer a recoating/rebuilding service for the rotor packs.
I looked at the pricing of who's offering it, and it's outrageous. If I can set-up a core program, I may be able to make it fairly reasonable. there are also low drag bearings available for this case, so there could be some performance benefits.

You singing a sweet melody there Ron. I am all ears and am eager to see what you come up with.
02-16-2008
that you are.... maybe its the chitown water
02-16-2008
Well, I think it's something that needs to be done. Cores are getting harder to find mint. Be nice to be able to find some extra performance in there somehow also.
02-16-2008
Let me ask this, as Im just curious and sorta thinking out loud. Would it be better or easier or some other advantage to coat the inside of the housing rather than the rotors themselves? Isnt the purpose of the coating to tighten up clearances?
02-16-2008
gun drill each lobe of the rotors, balance em, slot em for teflon strips, coat the gears...low drag bearings...where will it stop! madness i say madness lol
02-16-2008
Maybe, but its the kind of madness I like.
02-16-2008
Most if not all the great minds and inventors were considered mad at some point
But they died before anyone would deem them a genus, so take above with a grain of salt
02-16-2008
lol your awake still? lol
02-16-2008
Ron, now that I see what you are doing I wished I kept my 20K mile stripped rotors. Everyone said that having the coating stripped would cause you to loose boost so my were changed out for a set from Ed. There was absolutely no difference in boost level. Had that possibility occured to me, I would have kept my stock rotors.
02-16-2008
question on the rotors is there supposed to be alot of play in them when they are removed. i relize that they are supposed to have some. and is there anyone that sells those bearings
02-16-2008
nah, you would've found something else to do with them. You might have kept them if Ron was already doing his thing and had him recoat them. I believe you would have done that, but just keep them stripped,.... Just doesn't sound like you.Ron, now that I see what you are doing I wished I kept my 20K mile stripped rotors.

LOL. Sounds like someone knows you pretty darn well there Lee.
