COOLING SYSTEM - M.44.Remove rust and scale from the impeller andvisually inspect for cracks or damage. Examinethe impeller hub sealing face for excessive wearor scoring. Renew if unserviceable.5.Examine the water seal for damage. Excessivewear, scoring or cracks in the carbon sealingface will necessitate renewal.6.Inspect the bearings for pitting, corrosion orwear, and renew if necessary.To Re-Assemble the Water Pump1.Press the rear bearing on to the shaft, fit thebearing distance piece and then press on thefront bearing. When fitting the bearings to theshaft, ensure that the shielded face of eachbearing faces outwards towards the front andrear end of the shaft.2.Fit the grease seal retaining plate in positionagainst the back face of the rear bearing. Thisretaining plate is "dished" and when in position,the centre of the plate must not be in contactwith the bearing.3.Fit the felt seal and seal retainer housing so thatthese bear on the retaining plate.4.Half fill the space between the two bearings witha high melting point grease and press thecomplete bearing and shaft assembly into thepump housing from the front end. Securelyposition the retaining circlip in the recess of thepump housing immediately forward of the frontbearing.5.Fit the water seal into the housing ensuring thatthe carbon face is positioned towards the rear.When fitted, the seal must rest squarely on itsseat and not be canted in any way.6.At this stage, the shaft should be turned by handto ensure that no undue resistance to rotationexists.7.Fit the driving pulley key and press on the pulleymaking sure that no rearward axial movement ofthe shaft is incurred.8.Where ceramic counter face seals are fitted, fitseal to shaft with counter face towards waterseal and rubber bonded holder towards impellerface.Fig. M.5.Checking Impeller to Water Pump Body Clearance.9.Press the impeller onto the shaft ensuring that aclearance of 0.012/0.032 in (0,30/0.81 mm) ismaintained between the impeller vanes and thepump body (see Fig. M.5).10.Refit the plain washer and pulley retaining selflocking nut, tightening to a torque of 60 lbf ft (8,5kgf m) - 84 Nm.SEA WATER PUMP (Open Circuit)DescriptionThis type of pump consists basically of a shaft, geardriven from the rear of the timing case, which rotateswithin bearings in a water tight housing. The shafttransmits the drive to a neoprene impeller mounted onthe other end. This impeller is offset slightly to the waterchamber in which it rotates. The impeller blades, beingflexible have a trailing action when the pump is turned inthe normal direction of rotation. This flexibility permitsthe impeller to operate offset to the centre of the waterchamber and has the action of drawing in water throughthe suction (inlet) side of the pump in the large pocketsbetween the impeller blades, when the impeller turns,the blades become more flexed and consequently thevolume of the pockets between the blades decreasesforcing the water now under pressure to escape as theblades uncover the outlet port on the pressure side ofthe pump.The pump is self priming, but it is advisable to primeit when first commencing service or after
