That’s not a problem to worry about. Many motors have this same issue.

Having a machine screw that is tapped all the way through is pretty common, and usually doesn’t result in an air-leak significant enough to worry about. You may want to install the machine screw with some loc-tite as an extra precaution against any potential air-leak.

do u think that it would be beter if i would ask for a new one???????

 

[izitbrokeyet?]

I wouldnt worry about it. I've had lots of motors like this, and it's never proved to be a problem.

George,

That is a sweet-looking Hydro. I'm sure that CMB 80 will be a great combination.
