No coolant flow
whatsoever, nada, zip (the system was verifiably full of coolant, the pump drive
was turning. So its either a broken shaft (but the pulley turns smoothly)
or something really strange (like the wrong impeller). Unfortunately,
since I have less than ¼ inch clearance to the firewall I really don’t think
there will be any way to get the impeller off without removing the engine.
Ahg.

I feel your pain. I
just went up in the attic to look at an old pump, and from what I can see, there
ain't much that can go wrong. I can think of all kinds of bizarre
possibilities (no impeller, wrong impeller, eroded impeller,
impeller free wheeling on shaft, way too thick gasket between pump and
housing), but the common theme to all these possibilities is the need to
pull the pump. I sure wouldn't run the engine again until I looked at
this.
Sorry,
Rusty (feeling better
about installing an EWP in series with my stock
pump)
