Inspection and Service
Water Pump Details
A Impeller
Water/coolant pump consists of a sealed impeller
assembly, which includes outer cover and a cogged
drive pulley. When pump is mounted to crankcase,
impeller fi ts into a cast recess, and cover seals against
an O-ring outside perimeter of recess.
Impeller assembly is not serviceable, but it should be
inspected for wear or damage.
1. Inspect impeller to make sure blades are in good
condition and free of any cracks, nicks, or damage.
2. Impeller shaft should rotate smoothly, without
binding or wobbling, and there should be no sign
that coolant has leaked past shaft to outer surface of
cover.
3. Check that drive pulley is not cracked or damaged in
any way.
If your inspection causes you to doubt its reliability, water
pump assembly should be replaced. Always use a new
O-ring whenever water pump is removed. Do not reuse
old O-ring or try to use RTV in its place.
