oil on blower inlet!!!!(pics)

**quadcammer** · 12-08-2003, 02:32 PM

inlet right before the blower.

shiny stuff on walls is oil coating
black stuff on bottom is oil sludge.

Not happy paxton customer.

would this be from pcv?

**quadcammer** · 12-08-2003, 02:57 PM

no, i have breathers, no pvc valve, ie no contact between oil system and that elbow

**regattacoupe** · 12-08-2003, 03:04 PM

**quadcammer** · 12-08-2003, 03:25 PM

Damn, that's rough.

yeah, the first time they sent me the wrong pulley(gt pulley hit my valve cover)

then i got it back, and it had a bad bearing.

and all i ask is that they pay for shipping, but i don't know if thats gonna happen. oh yeah and they fix it right this time.

no doubt! i'd be raising some kane.

kelly has kind of been skirting the shipping issue. Im getting kind of fed up with this whole arrangement.

shipping a 25lb object from nj to cali isn't cheap, especially if you can't wait 4 weeks to get it there and back.

My novi is only a few months old and it appears to have the same type of problem. I researched the blower before i decided to buy and I saw very few problems associated with the novi. Now in a short time this seems to be a common problem. What is going on?

**quadcammer** · 12-10-2003, 08:25 PM

im with you, i had not heard a single problem with the big novi.

Kelly is stepping up and covering some of the shipping so props to him.

i home paxton plays ball with this.

I'm a Novi 1000 user, and I was wondering what could make the oil get into the inlet tube? I mean think about it when running it is always sucking inward. So how does it go reverse?

Or am I missing somthing?

I live in Jersey too, and I know that it takes forever to ship out to cali........... I feel for yah..

I would assume that it would be the result of a seal on the impellar shaft that leaks under pressure of the engine oil. Mine is not as bad as the leak shown in the pictures, but still very evident.

**mheinjr** · 12-11-2003, 05:16 PM

Yeah, but wouldn't it be in the outlet tube rather than the inlet? Like I said it's sucking inward. I don't maybe the amount of force from the sucking isn't enough to move the liquid.
