Now that Mr. Monroe is retired, who is rebuilding stock throttle bodies?
That's great to hear, nothing like doing some bonding with Dad over Turbo Buick car repairs!!!Dear ole Dad and I just put alot of time and effort into fixing the shaft play on my stock TB.
Sad to hear I have his 62mm throttle body and doghouse… great stuff…Now that Mr. Monroe is retired, who is rebuilding stock throttle bodies?
Steve used same seals gbody sells. Issue with those seals.... They are roughly .025 too large on the OD of seal. The bore needs to be opened up or 1 of 2 issues may occur. Seal is destroyed during installation or you may split/crack the TB housing. In regards to the seal only replacement....The repairer should check the end play for wear, if you can move the shaft back and forth, that needs addressed otherwise it will destroy your new seals in a short period of time. I looked at about 6 stockers and they all needed bushings prior to seal replacement to get the desired outcome. If you can find a low mileage piece, that would be way to go.wonder what seals steve used....that is the key to puzzle....all that is really needed is new seals....
No rocket science here.
Any bearing supply house should be able to supply bronze bushings for the shaft, then ream the TB to fit them (in a Bridgeport mill), the same mill and a boring head could fly cut the housing bore to the larger size for the seal.
Find a retired machinist with time.
I have done many thru the years, its a straight foward job, but I currently am about 3-4 months behind in my customer's engine builds...
The set up and indexing take more time than the actual machining, and you only get one shot to get it right.
