Trust me, its sucks, and your gonna hate it, hopefully you dont get shafted into paying the wonderful Health Care "premium", which after big business complained, "magically" became a Health care "Tax" [businesses weren't required to pay the "tax", but, would have to pay the "premium" under the collective agreements of most contracts]

No wonder most of our politians fly to the US to have medical procedures performed. The idea of being a hard working American [or Canadian] and knowing your Health care dollars are being used to medicate millions of people in the country illegally and/or have never worked a day in there life makes it much easier to sleep at nite too.

Its a sad day for my friends in the South.

Somebody buy this guy a drink!!

the new style kit only uses 1 wear plate and none of those silly thin gaskets .its a way nicer kit and much easier to install . make sure you put the hoses on correctly . remember the dir of rotation is from the flywheel side . the markings are on the back of the new style pump housings .

The new style has no provisions for water pressure sender and my lines come out at a 90 degree the new style ,which I have, they come out straight.
new style seems real cheap, I ordered up the 3 piece original replacement pump, but it seems now I need wear plate # 94916.
Why noone includes it in the repair kit is beyond me, its supposed to be finally nice on Sunday i wanted to go out.. we only get so many weekend here .:angry-smiley-038:
I bet nobody locally will have it, these Marinas in the Chicagoland area stock nothing.

****!

You can try Berwyn marine, or basa marine in bolingbrook. They may have the plate you need. Im not positive, but isnt it possible to flip the plate around and use the good unworn side against the impeller and worn side against the housing? Given its not too wore out?

ICDEDPPL 05-19-2010 09:12 PM

Yup, I flipped it around and just spent the last 2.5 hours getting the ****in pump back together!!!.. omg I must have invented new swear words.:angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038::angry-smiley-038:

I mean Holy $hit I thought doing LT1 spark plugs was bad..
Doing everything the first time is a *****, I ended up taking the whole pump out. Those stupid hair thin gaskets mY God..I can`t fit in the engine bay at all, 2 months after knee surgery, kneeling is painful ..etc etc.. what a major PITA
To top it off im not 100% sure which hose goes to which end of the pump now.. I think the one from the oil cooler goes on top ?? is that right? :greenchainsaw:

I need a few beers right now....

Always seems like the items you need to maintain the most frequently are the ones that are the hardest ones to service. Doing mine with the engines sitting in the garage was a pain in the a$$, I am not sure I could even pull it off in the boat. Been thinking maybe it's time to find a different pump that would be easier to service? Maybe an electric??
