Subject: Re: Water Pump Modification
You can`t move the bolting face on the pump drive pulley,the
body of the punp is about 3mm from the inside of that face.
It isn`t advisable to remove the bypass system, this is there to
prevent hoses being blown off. The pump will produce upto 45psi when the engine is reved. Are you shore the temp
gauge is wright, test it by disconectind it and imerseing in a
kettle and boil it. It should register 100c,( granny sucking eggs).
Have the rad reversed flushed. Is there anyway to increase
air flow through the engine compartment.There are many things to consider,are the bleed holes for the liners weeping,
these engines tend to silt up around the liners. Years of rad
weld to seal up leeks tends to build up at the bottom of the
liners. Fit a 72c stat, check ignition and fueling. is there a alloy
cowl bolted to the rad encircleing the fan to duct all the air through the rad
