I just purchased a steig port 3. It was taken apart for pictures....
Well I lined it up with my stock blower that I took off and the snout was on backwards wrong side. So what I need is...

The bolt pattern for re-tightening?

The torque setting for them?

And the clearance for the rotars from the ends of the blower?

What type of gasket seal to use in order to put the snout back on?

I have done a lot of search already but can't find the answers in the time I've taken. I appreciate any help that can be offered.

Thanks in advance...

Not sure if there is a bolt pattern, I've always used an inward to outward pattern. Thats what I have noticed is used on most things like heads, headers, valve covers, etc.

If I remember correctly it's only 24ft lbs to tighten them.


As for a gasket, mine stock had red loctite around for a gasket. After I took it apart I used a thin coat of black RTV sealant.

 

That wasn't red loctite, on my wifes M90 eaton for her Pont. GTP. I used a GM red gasket maker #1052943 (this looks like loctite and is what they recomended).

 

You sure?

Past posts states that Eaton used Loctite #518 to seal it up:
One thread.
Another thread.

When I pulled mine along time ago it was a really thin red layer that flaked off. I have never used the GM red gasket maker, but if it's anything like the other gasket makers I've used it doesn't flake off because it's more rubberish.



Regardless, I've had mine apart 2x and used a thin coat of black RTV to seal it up. No leaks from either time.

 

I'm not sure of anything really, this GM stuff looked to be the same that was used at the factory, real thin red stuff. I wouldn't think loctite that is used on threads would be a good thing to use as a gasket? I used this stuff because it was advised on the Pont. fourms and it sealed it up and looked to be the same that was used from new. I'm sure RTV would be just as good, I don't know about loctite though?

 

Loctite 518 is what Eaton and Magnusson use. It is a form-in-place gasket eliminator good for aluminum surfaces to 300 degrees F and is anaerobic, meaning it cures without the presence of oxygen.

 

Loctite is refering to the brand not the specific product like thread locking liquid. Loctite makes all different kinds of sealant and chemicals. If you really want to put red loctite thread sealant around the gasket surface that's up to you, but I'm pretty sure they mean a loctite brand RTV type gasket making material.

 

And there is our answer(s).

 

hmmm... good info.
