COOLANT SYSTEM
Measuring the Coolant Pump Clearances
1. Push the impeller all the way toward the
pump body and insert a thickness gauge
(Figure 7-9, (1)) diagonally between the
impeller and the body to measure the clearance
between the two.

impeller and the plate (pump body bracket) to
measure the clearance between the two.
