COOLING SYSTEM - M.6
Fig. M.8.
Removing Sea Water Pump from back of Timing Case.
It may be advisable to apply a soapy solution to
the pump shaft in order to ease the seal past the
circlip groove.
Should difficulty be experienced in gripping the
seal with the fingers then two lengths of stiff wire
or welding rod (3/64 in to 1/16 in dia.) with
hooked ends (1/16 in to 3/32 in deep) can be
utilized to secure the seal, one opposite the
other,
whereupon
the
seal
can
then
be
withdrawn.
Alternatively, slacken off the clamping device
which secures the two halves of the pump
together (bearing housing and impeller housing)
and then proceed to separate them, thus
exerting pressure on the seal from behind.
7.
Remove the gear from the drive end of the pump
shaft by means of a suitable puller.
8.
Remove the outer retaining circlip from the
bearing housing.
9.
Withdraw the impeller housing from the bearing
housing, firstly slackening off the clamping
device.
10.
Withdraw the slinger from the pump shaft.
11.
A suitable press may then be used to press out
the water pump shaft together with the water
pump bearings.
12.
Remove the bearings from the water pump shaft
by means of a press. To re-assemble the water
pump, the reverse order should be adopted.
When replacing the cam fitted in the impeller
housing, be certain to coat the entire top surface, rear
face and securing setscrew hole with a suitable jointing
compound.
Note that the cam will go into position one way only.
Care should be taken, when replacing the rubber
impeller, that all the blades lie in the same direction
relative to rotation of the pump i.e., blades trailing.
When re-assembling, ensure that the rubber impeller
is coated with MARFAK 2HD grease.
NOTE:
If appreciable wear or scoring has taken place on
the wear plate working face, it may be turned round
so that the reverse side now becomes the working
face. If this face in turn becomes worn, then a
replacement wear plate should be fitted.
If appreciable wear or scoring has taken place on
the end cover working face, it can be ground to
restore flatness, providing that this operation is not
carried out too many times. If a replacement end
cover is fitted which does not carry the pump model
number etc., then the original worn end cover
should be fitted over the new part, utilizing longer
setscrews.
The thickness of the end cover joint is critical. If
it is damaged, it is important that the correct
replacement joint, or one of similar thickness be
fitted.
HEAT EXCHANGER AND OIL COOLER
(lowline engines)
With lowline engines, the heat exchanger and oil
cooler are two separate items both mounted on the
starboard side of the engine. The oil cooler and spin-on
lubricating oil filter are an integral unit.
Removal of both units is effected by removing the
inlet and outlet water connections and removing the
units from the cylinder block.
The dismantling of both units is similar. Remove the
end covers and drive the tube stacks out of their
respective housings. Cleaning of the tube stacks is the
same as that recommended for the earlier combined
heat exchanger and oil cooler as given on Page M.7.
When re-assembling, new "O" ring seals and joints
should be fitted if they appear to be badly worn or
deformed.
