I need to repair a leaking nose drive seal and I'm having a hell of a time finding any repair kits that specifically state they're used on the LC80 TRD superchargers.

Will any M90 snout rebuild kit work? I know the snout was specific to the 1FZ-FE, but it seems like the bearings and couplers are all the same.

I've yet to reach out to Magnuson or any other supercharger service companies. Trying to avoid a $1k rebuild service for a leaky seal.

This was the place I used to rebuild my SC back in 2011 or thereabouts.

I just have some oil on the surfaces around the pulley/airbox/valve cover that’s been blowing around that area a while, so to my eye it’s just the snout seal. I’ve read the m90 is pretty bullet proof and generally doesn’t need a lot of work at low boost. Was it just mileage that prompted your rebuild?

Should I find a way to check for boost pressure to be sure it’s ok? It isn’t a bad leak from the snout (see pic), but I do see some seeping at the 90

This whole truck is new to me and the drivetrain will go into my 80. Slee rebuilt the engine about 35k ago and it’s good to go, just making a list to tie up loose ends.
