Thanks to Brian Kelly!
He wins this week's prize by spotting problem of water pump fit up.
As usual, I was looking up the wrong end of the horse. The water pump shaft
flange is not symmetrical. The top edge of pump flange (if not relieved) will
strike the block/dynamo base as pump is drawn down. The "bottoming out" feel
was flange striking block, not shaft hitting something in the nose piece.
Confirmed correct shape by digging out old blocking plate from time when
engine did not have a water pump and access hole was blocked off.
A little creative grinding and fits perfectly.
Thanks to all ... special thanks to Brian.
