Well, after my recent repairs/alternator relocation my water pump
started leaking, and I thought it was from the gaskets in front of and
behind the water pump spacer, so I pulled it all apart, cleaned it, and
put it back together. Now it is leaking worse than before and I think
it's coming from the shaft, not the gaskets. There is also a mild
clanking noise coming from the water pump. Time for another $110 water
pump...
Anyway, I stopped by my local Nissan forklift dealer and they do have
the H20 water pump (Nissan brand) for $66, with all the correct holes
in the backing plate, and the casting is an exact match (although there
is some different writing/etc. in the casting), BUT the pulley mounts
differently, probably more like the early R16. They offered to swap
the pressed-on piece (what do you call that?) but at $58/hour, it would
cost as much as or more than an R16 water pump. Oh well.
