Does anyone know what the model # is for the roots blower on a 8V-71 NA engine? I need to order seals for mine.

Depends on whether you have the small or large bearing blower. Good Luck, TomC

James;

If you have the original blower then it is a small brg blower. I don't have a part # but ask for a rebuild kit for a small brg and an install kit. If you have any trouble with that let me know and I can get what you need.

You can tell a small brg blower by it having one bolt off set from center on each end holding it down. Not talking about the side bolts, only the top bolts. The large brg blowers have two bolts on the end plates at the out side corners.

Hope that helps

Don

Thanks Don. We are a distributor for roots PD blowers. I am hoping that I can get the parts for the one on my 8V through our Roots contact and save some money since we are an OEM.
