XTREME KARTS XF 1,212 Posted August 18, 2014 Any reason why the water pump castings are different? The top pic is the engine out of the wagon and the bottom pic is the engine thats going into the XD. I will be replacing the water pump on the good engine but i dont understand why the casting are differ and the alternator bracket wont bolt up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigCav 464 Posted August 18, 2014 there is about 3 or 4 variations on the alloy pumps and when you buy one off the shelf you should really take in a sample of the old pump i have come accross this issue before as not all water pump brands sell the correct pump for cars, some list the same pump as suiting all clevelands where as i have seen differences in these boss's between cleveland fitted f trucks and broncos etc i dare say its just the wrong water pump 2 gerg and XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SPArKy_Dave 8,889 Posted August 18, 2014 If you have an original correct Cast Iron clevo water pump, you can get them rebuilt. There are dudes who specialise in it. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted August 18, 2014 My Clevo picks up one of the pump bolts as an alt bracket mount. Maybe a long bolt and spacer is needed? 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,871 Posted August 18, 2014 Cast or Alloy water pump? Cast stocker mate, but dunno how that extra gusset on your alloy one interferes with your bracket without having seen it. I'd say it's there for extra strength because alloy isn't as strong as iron so needs reinforcing. 1 XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
