Been down that road myself few months ago. Cruising 80 mph talking to Bill Brooks on the phone LOL. Chinese 10 vein rotor just blew up had over 12k on it. Put a 7 vien pump back in it no issues so far. My slide did not break, hub did not crack but it's ruined.Converter was spaced properly, dowels in place (no converter bind) so my only guess would be that the slide oscillated violently causing it to crack then took out the pump and converter. Thoughts or past experiences with this???View attachment 312055
Yes it is.Looks like a 10 vein rotor correct?

The other explanation could be that the assembly is was inferior junk
Yes it is.
A builder told me they went back to the 7 vein too. This occurred at higher RPM and its my understanding that the slide spring becomes more critical then..
What slide spring setup is in it?
I can, you mean you want me to add .110 to the installed height to compensate for the spacer. I've seen some trannys with that installed. Just saw one last Sunday as a matter of fact.This is as good a place to ask this as any:
Steve I've seen you post some pics on Facebook measuring slide spring combos. Can you measure a couple with about .110 taken off the installed height? This is the width of the sonnax spacer and I've not seen any measurements using it (and I don't have a spring rate tester). My train of thought here would be using the spacer in the event I don't have an OE inner spring to use with the transgo spring. And the spacers are cheap. I'd send you one to test but it would literally be the same price to buy you a bag of 10 off eBay and ship it to your address lol.
