Greetings Tigers=2C
Finally dug in on changing a slowly leaking water pump on my 65 Sunbeam Tig=
er. The plan was to retire the original radiator at the same time. The or=
iginal radiator seems to be in remarkably good shape after 50 years thanks =
in part to an inline gano filter. I decided to invest in the direct replace=
ment Griffin aluminum from Summit and shrink wrap the original rad=2C savin=
g it for another day. The Aluminum water pump from Sunbeam Specialities an=
d all new hoses plus a new belt are ready to go.
I ended up successfully removing the fan=2C shroud=2C radiator=2C all water=
pump bolts except for one that secures through timing cover. Naturally it=
snapped in half. Trying to ease it out put up a fight so off comes the pul=
ley and then the harmonic balancer and eventually with a little persussion =
the timing cover. The remaining bolt section was removed by hand - ugh. Un=
fortunately=2C there were a few casualties along the way. =20
The dip stick probably had a split tube and it broke where it enters the ti=
ming cover. As far as I can tell Ford PN C2OZ 6754 A* 62-65 DIP STICK =
TUBE W/GENERATOR V8 or from the Rootes supplemental PN C20Z-67s4-A would b=
e a Ford original part number.=20
The harmonic balancer (once again from the rootes supplemental pn C40Z-6316=
-A) has that Knackered look with a lot of cracks in the rubber (this was re=
placed last century around 1992).
For what it's worth=2C I ordered a timing cover gasket kit (Felpro) from Ro=
ck Auto. It includes a pan front seal and little corner gaskets so I hopefu=
lly won't have to drop the pan to seal her up.
So=2C I am looking for some quality replacements for the dipstick tube and =
a harmonic balancer.
Would anyone have information on suitable stock type replacements=2C part n=
umbers=2C cross reference parts from other models such as the Ford Fairlane=
or any other advice (such as timing cover/h2o pump bolt torque numbers) pu=
tting the front end of my engine and the cooling system back together?
Once again=2C thanks for all the great Tiger list info.
Sincerely=2C
