marring on the supercharger shaft?

[Vanilla Mustang]

Hi,

I noticed some marring on my supercharger shaft.

Anyone have this when removing a pully?

Think it might throw it out of balance? Its like a scratch down the whole shaft

Sand it completely off and you should be fine.

It wouldn't bother me :shrug: wouldn't shock me either since the eaton pulley is a press fit :-D

cool, thanks for the adivce.

Posi, you think I should sand the shaft down and take some more metal off?

I'm thinking you don't need to worry about a groove per say, just reduce any raised portion or lifted edges.:shrug:

^^ dude just sand it down roughly. Your just cleaning the surface up a bit...


Think of it like a press in bearing, theres gona be scuffs and scratches as to wear it sits, you can put it just like that and it would be k. Most mechanics choose to clean it up so theres no contamination build in the future...

Same scenerio...

cool, going to roll with the adivice right above, sanding it down to take anything raised off.

Thanks again

^Yep, just hit it with some sandpaper to get rid of the high spots only.

I've yet to see a shaft with this on it out of 180 blowers now so it's rare. Make sure you use some lube on that sucker when you put it back on.
