Why do you think you need a rebuild? I am just wondering because my SC is starting to get up there in miles, I haven't had any problems so far, but it does seem to be leaking a bit of oil.

so which is it then? do you? or do you not understand my point? You just contradicted yourself in those two statements........you realize that right?
Just because I dont have a SC yet, doesn't mean I cannot state what myself and many others (who also dont have SC's), are thinking. If you dont have professional experience building SC's, and want to ensure the job gets done right without the hassel and headache...............I dont need a SC'd car to tell you if you cant afford a $450 - $600 rebuilt, you shouldn't own a $5600 supercharcher.
Point being - If you saved and saved just enough to buy the SC, no point in having it if you cant afford to fix it!

i don't think you understand that removing and opening the blower is a very easy task and yes, i have done it more times than you can count on 1 hand. if it isn't a difficult thing to do and it would be cheaper, then why not? of course letting someone else do it all would be much easier for me, but i don't mind it if i can save significantly. with the information i've now found, it seems like i wouldn't be saving anything by putting together my own rebuild kit, but wasn't the research necessary in order for me to realize that?

Apart from the sound and the oil leaking at how many miles more or less does a NOVI 1000 needs rebuild??

BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT I COULD SAVE SOME MONEY.
The effort you put into trying to save yourself a few bucks signals you MAY have cash flow problems or simply do not want to spend that kind of money to get the rebuild. I dont know your perogative....i was simply saying IF SOMEONE IS so worried about it....then............
Which leads me to my point......NOT AN ASSUMPTION........that if your trying that hard to save $100 or so...... then I think anyone would agree that you should not own a SC....or anything that is costly to fix for that matter.
goldenfri: You may want to back track and re-read my posts. I never once made the assumption he cant afford it.... I said IF SOMEONE is worried about the costs to repair something, then they should think twice about owning that item.
Example - Homeowner.....if you are worried about paying all the bills / property tax, and are worried about the "up keep and maintenance" of the home you are looking to buy........you probably shouldnt buy it then. Its common sense.........
Not once did I say the OP could not afford it......i was simply "running my mouth"....lol
