Woohoo, managed to fvck up my car again
I'm so freaking talented. Driving around last weekend I noticed a weird vibration and noise. Didn't think much about it (I'm good at that), parked the car until today. Today I bought some seafoam and decided to run it through. As the engine idled the sound got worse and worse. Decided to inspect under the hood and discovered that my supercharger pulley nut has worked itself loose and the pulley itself was banging around on the shaft slowly destroying itself. Fun! The worst part it I can't even get it off now it's so shredded on the inside. Might have to cut it in half just to remove it. Yeah, I'm freaking talented.

yeah, my car smoked for a good half hour
it was still smoking a little when I decided to kill it and search for the source of the noise. Hopefully not running it until completely clear won't cause any problems.

wow that's a long time!
mine stopped smoking after abour a mile of driving. I don't think my car has much carbon buildup, but i know it has a sludge problem. I also put in Auto-RX this morning.
