If they said you will be ok, im pretty sure im golden! You would think that that would be out of balance, but run it and see what happens!

Talk about pennywise and pound foolish... That's just plain cheap.

If the impeller wheel goes, it would cause a lot more than $850 in damage.

Keith, I know this - but we gotta do what the customer wants! He is aware of the danger...

The sad thing is, if I ran this it would explode at idle...if he runs it, it will run fine for 20 years or something...

He bought it used - the crazy thing is ALL the blades are IDENTICAL....


Should be an awesome shrapnel-fest if it comes apart on the dyno... !
