    I rebuilt my Vortech's wetside this morning, of course the drive shaft had to bust at 3 in the morning :cry: I've put it all back together and everything is correct, I've triple checked the tear down pics of the wetside. The only concern is I'm hearing a little vibration... Do you think this is normal for when the new parts are breaking in?

    Mine vibrated for about a week when it was breaking in. As long as you have your dry
    And wet side lined up properly it should go away in a week or two

    Thinking out loud - I assumed you calibrated (moved the backside with speed on full to find the sweet spot again?)
