cool find
 

Pulled another RHB5 the other day, it had zero play, and it wasn't perfectly free spinning... but I figured what the hell... So I finally got around to cleaning it up, and tearing it down tonight, and much to my suprise, as soon as I shot a little PB Blaster into the oil inlet and moved the turbine around a little, super-easy-free spinning, and it did give me about 0.02" of shaft play (totally acceptible)

and also looking into the exhaust housing, there was absolutely no carbon at all... the inside was the same rust color as the outside... Cool!

all in all I was a happy guy and I just wanted to share.

heh, I'm going to use it for my own project... I'm gonna try to get a couple more to sell this weekend if it ain't raining...

PB Blaster is something sort of along the lines of Liquid Wrench... but works 20 times better!

and when I say spins freely, it went from having a little bit of bearing drag, to when you spun it, it stayed spinning for maybe a revolution or two...
