[QUOTE="Brad, post: 2484860, member: 4683"] It will live at 300 degrees so my postulation is incorrect? WTF are you talking about? The intake should not necessarily be heated to 450 degrees, what? You do realize my reason for heating up the blower at the intercooler bolts right? You need 400+ degrees to break down red locker. Maybe we're on different pages now or something. I'm talking about heating up the blower at the intercooler bolts to break the locker to remove them without snapping, I have no idea what page you're on now. Why would you crack the blower open? Let me explain my logic again, it's in response to this quote if you're confused. If you place the whole blower in an oven to break down the red locker, you're also going to be breaking down every single other seal in the blower. You'll need 400+ degrees to melt down the locker. The snout has it's own gasket maker between it and the rotor gear housing, and the rotor gear housing has it's own gasket maker between it and the blower case. None of those gaskets are rated above 200 degrees. I wouldn't trust those anymore after they've melted like that. Plus I'm not sure you'd want to expose the rear bearing grease which is rated at no more than 170 to 400 degrees. Not sure about the seal between the rotors shafts and the bearings anymore either. This is why after your recommendation of heating the blower in an oven I'd suggest a rebuild. :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
