G'day fellas, first time posting but been copiously reading this here forum which has been great.
I'm looking at/pulling off my Hawk's blower next day or so via engine hoist. Reason being upon few very concerning factors I went ahead and swapped out the spark plugs for ngk lfr7aix iridium and didn't exactly like the state/condition of all piston tops and cylinder walls utilizing my borescope camera.
Oil and shredded teflon coating from the rotors inside the blower also....remove the lid and yep traces of blow by plus sections of actual wet oil around the kid's gasket.
Really don't think there's much point in me doing a compression/leak down test as with a heavy heart I've come to realize I've unknowingly been recently sold a Trackhawk with the motor on it's way out and I just wanna see for myself how bad I've been screwed over 🫤
I would greatly appreciate it if you guys could chime in on amy pointers/things to look out for and be aware of when removing the blower.
And importantly whilst viewing the blower attached to the motor from above with the lid off of it I gently can wiggle the right blower rotor through the opening and it has a tiny bit of movement.....thats not meant to happen is it and what could be the reason behind it.
Thank u
