How much tolerance in coupler on S/C?

**SnowDrift** · 09-27-2011

Does the coupler on the S/C snout fit tight against the guide pins? I have a tiny amount of movement in mine that I can hear when I rock the pulley back and forth. No rocks sound yet, no other issues, but I guess I'm thinking that if it is on its way out, now is a good time to address the issue.

should be very snug on there, like zero movement.

if you can feel it has play in the shaft, the coupler is on its way, mine had a pins width of wear in both directions of the original center hole, made a good racket at idle.

new is real tight, no play in it at all. got mine off e bay for 21 bucks shipped or so.

Thanks guys. I kind-of thought that. I'd rather do it now, than when I need it to be done, and it is really bad.

If it hasnt been replaced I would just replace it.

Dont forget to get supercharger oil.

Yes, thank you. I have one bottle, but will pick up another

when putting new couplers in..I have found that the pulley is tough to turn by hand at first. It'll loosen up with a little oil splash and the engine turning it.

Just an FYI so you don't freak out when you swap it.
