[Detroit Style Dragger]

Sounds dry to me.

You hooked up the oil lines right? :sagrin:

[what9612]

after initial startup i took the line that fed the blower oil, and put it into a bucket and started it for a second, and oil definately came out

[Sean]

send it in for a rebuild. Sounds like the bearings are going bad.

[what9612]

[what9612]

im not here to start nething. i have a problem and just trying to fix it

[Fryguy302]

btw those vids arent mine, i jus found them on youtube

ok, so those aren't your vids but the blower sounds EXACTLY like that?

I'm asking because if you don't know what a V1 sounds like, chances are you will think that a healthy one is broken. They are loud at idle, and can sound like they are grinding up rocks and stuff.

Have you talked to Prince about this?

I never heard one sound like that by hand though, and I just put one on

[what9612]

after talkin to vortech about the "grinding" type noise im pretty sure te blower is fine. if revved up a little bit the sound goes away, and its seems to be making boost, and on this tired 5.0 it feels pretty dang good :thumbsup:
