i just took my SC out and noticed the bolt that goes in the block had broken and half is stuck in the block.

just trying to find out it if this is a common problem for Vortech and what could be the cause?

any info will be

 

I haven't attempted to take that bolt out in the 2 years I've had my S/C in, so can't really say what would happen if I tried.

 

Did you do the installation? Did you apply anti-seize or locktite to the threads?

 

You mean the bolt that holds idler pulley?

I broke mine too, I posted a thread about this.

I have replaced with stronger bolt because it seems like Vortech supplied bolt can NOT hold stress much longer.

 

Same issue

 

i had it professionally installed. i will replace the bolt w/ a stronger blot.

sideways i know you had your SC for a while, have you had engine problems due

to the SC or misfiring in the cylinders(i have blown 2 NGK iridium plugs in last 6

months)? i just blew my motor on stock boost(scored my 3rd cylinder and chiped

my head).

 

Ouch, sorry to hear that. No problems here.

 

Which bolt? there are several.
