Throttle Body Primary Blade Wear Issue - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Jagdpanzer · 05-09-2017

In the process of rehabbing a high mileage (120K) TB I acquired a while back.
Found the primary throttle blade worn down significantly on one side due to side forces coming from worn actuator cam follower.

Before removing the throttle blade screws I used a Dermal with a small cut-off disk
to grind off the retainer welds on the back side so not to ruin the throttle shaft threads.

Remarkable. Makes sense one would have idle issues if the primary looks like that.

What mine looks like at almost 70,000 miles.....not sure what the substance is on the edge of the blade and around the screw. Need to do a closer inspection, but that is probably the last thing I will do, wait til after the plenum is reinstalled....

Don't remove it!

When used, dag is applied only to the secondaries.

Phil,
If you've still got the throttlebody in your hands, could you take a pic of it underside, where the makers logo is?

Here you go

Looks like you found it!
Are you planning on replacing the throttle plate? With new one cut to original size?

Doubt if there are any OE spares around. Could fab up a 10 degree angle mandrel and turn out a few new ones on the lathe. A good project for next winter.
