Hey guys I have a 2.8l KB on my 04 cobra. It was on the car when I bought it and called KB today and they told me it was sold in 07. A little oil gets away after some miles. Should I pay the $800 to KB to have it rebuilt or is there someone else to rebuild it or just keep checking the level and don’t worry??
Thanks

Ya I would have KB rebuild it. I have had two rebuilt from them and their turn around time was super fast and I was mailing from South Carolina to Cali. If you drive it very little you may be able to get away with checking oil every time but if you drive it a lot I would not take the chance.

I know you re a kb guy, did you buy these blowers new? How many miles did you get out of them?

I got the first 2.2L KB free but it took something into the rotors that marred them up so I sent it back to get the new snout design and get it polished. The second was a 2.8L that I wanted the LC installed on. It had 200 miles on it. I sent it back and they rebuilt it when they installed the LC section of the snout.
