Title: 36 v8 water pump
Post by: paul c on May 09, 2022, 01:27:33 AM
Hi all , just an update on my 36 water pump , after getting some outrageous prices plus our import tax
I had nothing to loose in stripping it down and checking it out myself, pump came to bits quite easy with no major damage to the shaft or impellor, the bronze /brass bush was slightly worn but could be easily made, I fitted 2 V pac seals  VP087050-02 and a new bearing 1623 2RS
and all seems OK at the moment  Total cost about $20   ,worth it just to strip the pump
