Default Re: Plenum pull advice

Okay I was mounting my Water pump pulley when I noticed there was more resistance in the water pump then when I spun it on the bench. So I pulled it back off just to find that the impeller was touching the casting in two spots. So I put it on my lathe and cut 8 Thousands of a inch off. That brought the back of the impeller distance to the Water pump casting to exactly the same tolerance As the factory unit I should have checked that before I assembled the pump. I should never have assumed a new pump would be perfect. And I'm going to add a surprise that I think the members might like while I have the pump off.
