View Full Version : Has anyone ever replaced Procharger seals on their own

Mine has a minor leak but I don't think it's coming from the shaft seal. I pulled it and took a look but doesn't appear to be coming from the shaft seal. Any ideas? Just checked here before I called ATI for a quote. Thanks in advance

I looked at a detailed writeup on how to do it on my Vortech. And decided that, for the time and risk, my money was better spent sending it to Vortech than doing it improperly and causing more issues. I shipped my blower out last week to them.

I did them on LJI's Silver car last summer before Atlanta!

Thought that thing was just rebuilt?

Well he said approx 20k miles ago. That's a lot of miles actually. It's not leaking bad as it shows no real loss of oil. I just want it right. Other than the main shaft seal, what other seals are they? When I had my old Vortech, I pulled it apart and wasn't much to it as far as seals. My bearing were just shot and got caught up in a gear

We do them at the shop if you're interested.

Double check the gasket/o-ring on the drain screw. That will leak if not seated properly.

My procharger has always seeped a bit since brand new. I check it's oil but it's always full. I replaced the drain screw gasket but still gets wet.

ProChargers "weep" about 50% of the time per ProCharger!!

It doesn't hurt a thing and rebuild doesn't stop it.......I've had 2 rebuilds and a brand new blower head in 167K miles......ALL leaked a little.....messy but hurts nothing!!:shake:

Marty, do you guys do complete rebuilds and if so how about impeller balancing??

I was told that ProCharger bearings are proprietary and only available from ProCharger....true??:confused:

We do not have the ability to rebalance impellers. That is a job best left to Procharger.
