O. Finish routing the belt around the supercharg-
er and release the spring tensioner. The belt
may be very tight. In this case it may be nec-
essary to have one person retract the ten-
sioner and have another partially install the
belt on the supercharger pulley.
P. Using a 1/2" square drive (ratchet), retract the
plate mounted behind the spring tensioner
until the tensioner is about 2/3 of the way into
its travel. Holding it in this position, tighten
the center and pinch bolts and release the
tensioner plate.
*Q. Install the supplied 1/8"NPT x -4 x 90° fitting
from assembly 4GS130-026 to the oil feed fit-
ting on the supercharger.
*R. Secure the oil drain hose to the previously
installed brass fitting in the oil pan, making
sure to route in a smooth downward manner
and away from moving or hot objects.
*S. Attach the -4 oil feed hose to the -4 fitting
previously installed in the supercharger.
Secure away from moving or hot objects.
7. SUPERCHARGER INSTALLATION, cont’d.
* Applies to "engine oil-fed" unit only. V3
applications skip this step.
NOTE: Use only clean engine oil on the pipe
threads. Teflon tape or pipe sealant is not
recommended as it might loosen and cause
bloackage of the small oil feed orifice result-
ing in possible supercharger failure.
NOTE: Any dips, "uphill" sections, kinks or restric-
tions may cause drainage problems and
possible supercharger failure.
NOTE: The pilot hole from the tensioner may
require adjustment during belt fitment.
