Old26Buick 8 Posted February 29, 2016 Who does a good job rebuilding water pumps ? I heard the CA kits are only so so. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old26Buick 8 Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Just found an old water pump in my spare parts. Shaft seems to push in and out, is this normal off the engine or is something worn. will take apart Tuesday.

26-25Buick 47 Posted March 1, 2016 Yes mine moves a little in and out, even after being rebuilt. Rightly or wrongly I've installed it in the car with a little pressure on the shaft to keep the shaft in the rear bush in the back plate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
