LeadBoots Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 I took apart the shee today because of an airleak. So I thought I would take a look at the water pump too since I was taking everything else apart. I have a billet waterpump and when I took it out there was groove in the shaft. The whole inside of the seal was ripped apart They both have only been in the engine for maybe 8 hours. If I would have put the seal in backwards would this have happened or can you even put it in backwards? Can I just lightly sand the grooves out?

moneybags Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Water pump seal should says water side on one side. By chance is your buillet water pump a mobquad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastquad02blaster Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I was told not to purchase an impeller from modquad because the shaft on them is aluminum too. The seal will actually wear a groove in your shaft and then both will need replaced after very few hours. Make sure that the impeller that you get next has a steel or chromoly shaft. It won't wear out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
