Hi guys
Well, after months of squealing, my waterpump finally gave out and
sprayed coolant all over the engine compartment, melting large chunks of
paint in the process! I have a couple of questions for you Tiger
veterans out there:
1) Is it necessary/adviseable to remove the radiator from the car to
change the water pump? My original workshop manual says this must be
done, whyle my newer book does not.
2) I ordered a new Tiger 1 waterpump from Sunbeam Specialties, and, lo
and behold, I received a cast iron piece. The instructions seem to
indicate that it will fit if I use the special screws provided, but I
thought cast iron pumps had different dimensions. What do you guys
think?
3) The cast iron pump is ugly and not "original" (not that I obsess
over that...my car is far from a concours candidate!). Is there a shop
around that can fix old pumps so that they can be reused?
Any words of wisdom would be appreciated.
