Tvs takeoff problem

[Beaubear]

Hey guys, I bought a tvs 2013 takeoff blower on the market from this website. Did the modifications on it for the elbow, installed it but never cranked it on because I got a new whipple later that week. I sold that tvs to a guy and installed it for him. He's telling me the front if the blower is scortching hot. I'm not trying to have my name in the streets with a bad rep. Has anyone else had that problem? I kinda feel bad for him and told him I would ask around.

Thanks,
Beau'

Front of blower is where the drive gears are..it's gonna be hot....how hot is it exactly, unless he is using a infrared gun , "scorching" is his opinion..if its 500* then that's scorching.

I've got a '13. The blower does get extremely hot!

But should it be hot even in a 7 mile trip? I should add it has a 2.5 pulley.

Yes...it's a mechanical part that uses oil...anything over 120* feels hot to the human hand...tell him to get a real temp reading if he's that concerned

His definition of hot might be different than yours, temp it with an IR bearing gun.

 

[Beaubear]

Haha thanks guys. He's actually going to measure it. Any idea what temp is normal?

I think all the tvs get really hot

Tvs and the eaton, aka heaton get scorchingly hot after a few minutes, he is just paranoid.

The TVS is NOT a KB liquid cool. The front gets pretty warm.

But just for the hell of it. You did check the oil right?

Mine gets damn hot after a couple miles so I'd say it's normal.

I've looked into the Steigmeir (sp?) venom coolers, but haven't been able to find anyone that actually has one.

Mine was 180 today when I got home after an hour of driving, seeings how it sits on a motor with a 190 degree thermostat I figure this is likely normal so to speak.
