M90 Supercharger Rotor and coating

[Flip97GTP]

I am afraid, I made a big rookie mistake. I didn't know I was not suppose to take this out and not to clean it....also!

I'm replacing my LIM gaskets and I have the top of the engine apart, down to the heads. All the parts I removed, I want to clean.

So. I took out the supercharger rotor and preceded to clean it. Once I finished cleaning it all up and looking good. I felt something fall off the rotor. I looked closely and this is what I seen.

On the corner there is a chip, as you can see, a piece of the coating came off. The rest of rotor looks fine. It is just this area. My concern is, if I put this back in the supercharger and run it like that would the rest of coating come off and go into the engine or wherever.

What should I do?
Any extra advice and suggestions would be appreciated!

You suck at cleaning. I did wayyyy better.





Those pics were during.. Soon after the rest peeled off. What you have is normal enough and nothing to worry about. However cleaning the casing/rotors will result in less sealing. It's actually better to leave them dirty.

Lmao....I guess I do!!!

Well, now I know that the next time I will leave the sh** dirty!

I read up about this and a lot of the readings talked about the rotor timing. Of course, I moved the rotors!
What is the rotor timing?
How do I put the rotor back in? Is there a certain way I need to do it.

[BillBoost37]

Rotor timing is only a thing if you pulled these gears off the rotors. I'm 100% sure you didn't do that.. it takes a lot of work to get them off.

[Flip97GTP]

Yes, you are 100% correct! I did not pull those gears off.
Is there a way to check the bearings and rotor pack seals on the rotor assembly for wear, leaks.....etc
I want to make sure I did not mess anything else up during cleaning!
Man I wish I knew better and did not touch this sh**

[BillBoost37]

Yes.. you can try and look, never see them, end up putting it back together and having a beer. Or ..skip trying, reassemble and have beer.

I like option 2 better.

[Flip97GTP]

Well, That a good suggestion BillBoost! Thanks......lol have a few beers.

[BillBoost37]

Once you know things aren't a problem..it's the way to go

[Flip97GTP]

Yea.....BillBoost I agree!

When I was doing the cleaning process I got some purple power in the area of the rotor gear bearings and the needle bearings. Is it a good idea to grease these bearings back up because I am thinking I got to much degreaser in these areas.

I just don't want to screw anything else up!

[blueguy]

Yay, less boost.

Good news is you'll just pulley down to make up for the crappier contact, lollll.

Should grease needle bearings. You can clean rotor pack gear area with wd40 and then blow dry.

So, how do I exactly do that, with the needle bearings. Do I need to take them out?

[Flip97GTP]

Lol....yea funny, that sucks, but it could be worse!

[BillBoost37]

it'll carbon back up fast as long as your egr is working

Look at the bright side, now your car is ready for a pre-blower methanol kit!

Don't take bearings out, This is correct grease. Some just use normal grease.

[Flip97GTP]

Ok thanks a lot Fellas!

[BillBoost37]

Actually that's far from normal grease.

Rollingperformance.com is a great guy to deal with on parts. If you want to change out the bearings. I can do the write up in about a min. Been there..done that.

[sseilmnop]

I've got bearings and couplers also! Bet I'm better price.

[Flip97GTP]

Do you have a snout rebuild kit. That's what I'm looking for.
