- I recently had a TR6 spare water pump rebuilt by The Flying Dutchman and one of his options is a 6 vane impellor. I installed the pump last week and had the upper coolant hose (thermostat to manifold

- Water pump design is an extremely complicated topic, even for a pump running at constant rpm, let alone with the widely varying rpm, head and flow parameters that are inherent in automotive cooling

- radiator can't cool it properly so the car runs hotter. I m only a software engineer, but I ve always been skeptical of this argument. Sure, perhaps per unit volume less heat will be removed as the c

- high pressure and high volume. As I remember the high pressure had more vanes, the high volume had longer vanes. And, I believe, Melling, the choice for VW oil pumps, no longer supplies the high pre

- You are quite right, John, I was thinking only of the TR2-6, not the Stag nor other Triumphs that I have no experience with (Spitfire, Herald, etc.). I should have been more explicit. I agree entire

- Bob, I agree with the reply saying more flow should result on BETTER cooling, all else being equal. But not everything else is necessarily equal. I think the biggest issue is laminar vs turbulent flo
