| Re: Just finished my 4.9 Water pump repair pics inside The pump had the impeller cover busted off, and the cheap brown paper cardboard gasket is junk.
I have now driving the car for 3 days of abuse and stop and go traffic. The pump is doing great.
Now for the answer, what did I use to put the impeller cover back on.
Drum Roll Please
Krazy Clue. AKA Super Glue.
I cleaned all the surfaces, and put glue on each impeller face where it contacted the cover. I let it sit up over night and it bonded so well that it seemed like one piece of solid plastic. I searched through many different types of glue and honestly the Krazy Glue seemed be the best suited for bonding 2 pieces of hard plastic together in submerged in hot water. |
