nope

the rotors from a fifth-generation Eaton supercharger or Radix have a frosty-looking, matte-black color called APC which partially-abrades away during break-in leaving an enhanced lobe-to-lobe seal. The lobes mesh as they turn and that pulls the air through the supercharger

Got any more pics of the internals of a Radix. Just curious to see what's in there.

If you have not already bolted up the magnacharger a good way to elimante the oil problem is to upgrade to ls6 lifter valley cover. the pcv system is intergrated under the cover and is leaps and bounds better than old style pcv. vacuum line runs out back of valley cover and you plug the valve cover hole.
