timireson Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Hi alljust got around to stripping the water pump. all looks good, even the thermostat still works.eccept this bit: the "inner ring" which surrounds the impeller I think, looks like a tin worm mouse has been at it, see the pic above. does this mean the pump is knackered, or does it not matter? I don't want to strip it all down and repaint, if it is. thankstim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Lewis Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 its a relatively crude pump I dont think a small zone missing will make much effect .clean it up and use a good quality antifreezedont use pink if blue has been used never intermix the two types . these housing are available from triumph scrapies if you are unhappy or concerned then get a replacement but it wouldnt concern me to refit it , its in a known state , maybe something to do much later on when your at a loose end Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bainzy Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Looks pretty shagged to me - you need to attack it with vinegar or a sharp implement tobe sure. New alloy ones are £65 at the moment at SC parts for the 6 cylinder, I got my Dad one for his TR6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
