Well, My Gen V superchager started making a loud noise. somewhat metallic. not cuppler(new). I used a screwdriver to listen to the bearings, 3 spots. The noise was from the snout bearing. No supercharger oil leakage from snout.
My question, Snout bearing or Rotor pack. When I remove snout is there a way to check rotor pack.

Re: Supercharger noise
Had the snout rebuild installing today. See if that cures the issue.

Re: Supercharger noise
New snout bearings corrected the issue.
