G60.16V

Ok Chaps,

 

I managed to get some time off

from the girlfriend and get back

to serios stuff.

I checked the water pump rotation

by fitting a couple of spare hoses

and filling up the block and head with

water,span up the water pump using a

high speed drill and tested,I didn't like it

though,granted,the water did circulate but

much slower than if the pump was turning clockwise.

I was pretty much expecting something like that may happen

so i went down to my mates huge scrappy and found an

Audi 100,2 liter 16v and grabbed the A/C tensioner wheel

and yet again modified the G60's belt route.

I've also added an oil/air seperator lifted of a Alfa 164 turbo,

all 16valvers definatly need one of those,by the way i grabbed

that neat aux crank pulley off an Audi 80 1800 with A/C.

There is a possible way to get round the water pump turning

anti-clockwise,one could always add a VR6/Passat TD aux water pump

and plumb it in to the head's water in/outlet?,thus making up

for any circulation problems concerning the impeller's vanes orientation...

Could we keep these to one thread please?

 

I recall that this is about at least the third thread about your engine.

 

Thanks
