Fox smog pump bearing size?

[MattB]

Awesome. Thanks guys, I'll get out and look-around and report back soon.

If no luck at those places. Hit up john deere

I think Napa carries BCA also, but they might have some laying around neglected in a warehouse somewhere, since we out sell them.

I dig it, man. Those emissions control devices are what keep modern cars from being smelly, shitty old cars. I should know, I have both.

Keep the catalytic system and fuel vapor emissions stuff intact, it just makes them more pleasant to drive and keep in your garage. I never understood why everyone was so quick to toss that shit.

You might hit up a lawnmower repair shop. I'm surprised you would have a hard time finding those. Maybe try a Napa too. Sorry, Eric!

Try calling Motion Industries in Sherman. (903) 892-4646

Bearings are all they sell. I buy from them pretty often at work.

Keep in mind you can buy upgraded bearings once you can find a legit part number too. If you put a high speed bearing in there I bet it would last forever but it is going to cost you a little bit. Some of the high speed ones on the impeller side of a Vortech will set you back $75-100 but they can also spin some high rpms.

Hahaha at first i though this thread was going to be about someone trying to turn a smog pump into a makeshift supercharger . Some guy i used to know wanted to do that but we all convinced him not to even try

Although i will admit that i have wondered what the power gain would be from removing the smog pump from a stock car . If any at all

Understand you want to rebuild instead of buying reman, but why not buy a Smog Pump Eliminator bracket/bearing to run all-year except for when you need to get an inspection done. This will prevent you from wearing out the smog pump over and over, while allowing you to retain your stock belt/pulley setup, then just remount and reconnect your smog pump when needed.

I appreciate your sentiments Matt, but I woulda bought a new pump and been done with it. More power to you if you get the rebuild sorted out.

Unlike a lot of people, I actually enjoy seeing how things work and rebuilding stuff versus just buying a rebuilt unit. In fact, most rebuilt waterpumps, alternators, etc that I've bought over the years don't last NEAR as long as the original factory stuff. I'd actually be more comfortable driving around with a smog pump I rebuilt instead of putting one one that was built in China or rebuilt in Mexico, but like I said, I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority since I can't find what I need to do it myself or even find anyone on the internet that's doing what I'm doing!


Thanks for looking around Eric, when I get some time I'll try to find something that works. Like I said, not a huge hurry, but I would like to have it done before I get the car inspected in a few months.

Getting all concours up in here.

i truly lol'd

god bless.

Wells, looks like neither factory has any old ones laying around either. I still bet you can bring it in and get it matched. It's probably a common 203FF or something similar.

smog pump eliminator has nice bearings on it.

[TRAXX]

[Sleeper]

relocate the canister or itll smell a little. If you park outside i bet youll never notice.
