saxchappy Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Now the car is MOTd, there's just one little thing between me and driven the little beauty! I rebuilt my 2.0litre engine before putting it back in the bay. Part of the rebuild involved stripping down the water pump and fitting a recon kit. After spotting a water leak from the cylinder block slot, which started as a drip and ended as a fountain I realised that the water pump was not seated correctly. So, off with the manifold (no wonder we have overheating issues - what a c*ap design!) and the water pump cover, out with the water pump - no problems. Now, two things: 1. the water flinger is sheared in two, and noone seems to sell them separately - any suggestions? 2. I don't want to have the same problem reassembling again. the main difficulty I experienced was drifting parts onto the pump shaft, for which BL produced a special tool. Is this tool available or can one be (easily?) made up? Thanks in advance everybody. Kevin Edited February 25, 2007 by saxchappy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mine's the 12 vane - but I'll keep my eye on it. Might be worth getting a 6 vane cover for it if price doesn't get silly Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beans Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) I wouldn't downgrade from 12 to 6 vane. The 12 vane is much better suited for use in an engine And you can't use 12 vane covers on 6 vane pumps and visa versa Edited February 25, 2007 by Beans Quote Link to post Share on other sites
