anestech* Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Well, I’ve got a leak from my water pump seal out of no where... It’s RTV’d, not gasketed so it’s obviously been off before. My 64 has a new aluminum radiator and electric fan conversion as well. I think I’d rather just replace the pump since it’s the same amount of work. Since I’m in Las Vegas, and I plan on getting the factory AC back in operation, should I look at a Flowkooler, March Performance, or TA (it looks like they don’t make a high flow for 1st gens though) or just a 5 blade OE style? Also, I‘ll pull the timing cover and check everything in there. Oh, the joy of old cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelman Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 I went with the TA for one simple reason. Bearing in the front rather than a brass bushing. Other than that, my research said the other aftermarket ones were about the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anestech* Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 So after taking my water pump off, I discovered 2 broken bolts, one short one in the timing chain cover, and one long one into the block... so I’ve got gaskets and new hardware from Russ Martin, and a new roller timing set since I need to be in there anyways. I sent them a pic of my timing chain cover and he said it’s safe to reuse. I don’t think I do, but but just wanted to check with you guys. Do i need to drain the oil to take off the timing cover?
