definitely contact holley (they bought B&M among many others) because some of those blowers use a replacable teflon strip on the rotor lobes.

It used to be that you could buy a complete rebuild kit and do it yourself. But not anymore. You'll have to send it to Holley for if you need a rebuild or balance. About $400. There is no regular maintenance to be done. Just use it until it wears out.
