Second time was under his warranty. Also Bond offers this service of ceramic coating the rotor pac as well.
The money I had in this used unit I could have easily paid for an Elderbrock or an optioned out JDL turbo set up. I’d be curious to know how the Jeep folks are doing with the oil situation in the intake manifold.
Simply updating user manuals with check oil more frequently is sprintex,s form of customer service. I had to cut my losses. Back N/A on E85 delicious stage 2 tune set up and no more worrying. Even you guys with the new blower set up, for giggles and grins, pull your blower off for inspection, tell me the intake manifold is not coated in supercharger nose drive gear oil. Guarantee you it is. Do not **** around without checking your supercharger oil at minimum once a week. Just my personal PSA . Last conversation with Jon Bond, he was going to stop rebuilding these units. Verify with Jon, or better yet try and get replacement parts I. E. Seals and bearing kits from Sprintex. Good luck.
Well that sucks!! If jon bond decides to stop rebuilding them.
