Just done a motor swap in my 06 cobalt ss/sc because the previous motor was locked up. We got everything back together and had to use the supercharger off the locked up motor. Everything seemed to be working fine except the supercharger. Didnt sound like it was working so we cut the car off unhooked it and hooked it back up. It started working for a short period of time. We let the car idle and it sounded like marbels rolling around inside the supercharger. I didnt pay it no attention and continued to drive. Cut the car off, and went inside. Came back out, started car and took off for a test drive, needless to say the car dies on me. My step dad is a mechanic and he says the supercharger locked up. Can anyone help me. Thanks

 

could be the coupler or bearings in the sc itself. As long as the rotors are not jacked up, it is a cheap easy fix. There is a rebuild kit for the bearings, coupler that include the oil from intense. It is less than $50 if I recall. Just be careful taking it apart to salvage the gaskets.

 

ok thanks. We thought that might be what it was, but y all the sudden it just lock up is what i dont understand. But i think were just going to buy the rebuild kit and go from there. If worse comes to worse ill buy a new supercharger

 

You should be able to remove the belt and spin it by hand.............

 

and what if we cant spin it by hand?

 

Could have a bearing down or trash between the rotors

 

pray that the rotors aren't trashed...

 

You can get a used M62 for relatively cheap, too. So you aren't in terrible shape.

 

used sc's aren't hard to find. I picked up an extra m90 for my moms car for $30 from a junk yard. I am getting ready to tear it apart and rebuild it. Her's is making the same "marbles" sound and has been for the last 6 months.

 

just tore it down and the blades are gone...no re-using this supercharger again. Someone hlp me find another one..and cheap about 200-250 preferably the same one that came off the motor to begin with

 

eww hope it didn't eff up the new engine...

 

I know someone selling a m62, he's asking 300 I believe. Sucks about the rotors. Would u b willing to sell the trashed blower? I want one to decorate my garage with. Pm me

 

is the housing jacked up? I am looking to port one here soon but need the housing.

 

im not sure how messed up it is, but sure ill sell it, and im also going to be doing a partout of the old motor, still has plenty of good parts on it.
