Title: Belts & Pulleys
Post by: Krazy on October 09, 2008, 06:39:05 am

I can not get my crank to water pump belt to line up.  I installed a new water pump (40 mm hub) and now nothing lines up.  Do the make different pumps?  I do not have the old one to compare with.

Did you use your original pulley or was one supplied with the new pump?

Do you, by chance, have the pulley simply facing the wrong way???
How far off in distance (mm.)?

Some of the newer water pumps come with a metal/rubber gasket that is notably thicker than the fiber gasket that the Rabbits used. It's not enough however, to make the pulleys run out too much, but it can make a difference of about 1/2mm.

What brand WP did you use? Did you replace the whole assembly (pump and housing), or just the pump?

it almost looks as if something is out of alignment, like on an angle.. take a pic looking at the block and down the line of the pulley's

i too like the look of cat yellow on a block  :D reminds me of all the tonka stuff as a kid.

I took the water pump back to the parts store.  They ordered me another one, this one will have a shorter snout.

Looks like it should be in the engine room of a car ferry or powering a film set.
Or a front end loader!
Or a dump truck!
Run 200psi of boost through that and you've got a tractor puller!
