So pulled the blower motor out...and the space in there was filled with CRAP lol. Pine needles, dirt etc.
The "gasket" for the motor housing was also pretty much disintegrated, so there is air leaking out all over. Cant build pressure if there are leaks, right?
Question -- Is it a gasket? or is it a sealant of some kind? I really couldnt tell since it was pretty much dust when i lifted it off, but it looked like it might have been an actual gasket. Anyone know? I checked napa and rockauto and i only see motors, no gaskets.
