SBC w/p rebuild, the kit is $25.
Good if you want to keep a pump with the correct part numbers.

The pump was working fine but I thought it best to rebuild. It was schmuky and the inside was rusty of course.

Press off the fan hub, press out the shaft & bearing assy. and press the impeller off the old shaft.

The kit has all the parts including a tool to evenly press in the internal seal.

Glass bead that parts especially the inside of the pump.

Install the new shaft/bearings/seals.

Install the new internal seal with some RTV.

Press on the fan hub to the correct dimension.

Pump's done and ready for paint.

I was in this morning for 10 minutes, took in $20, left with $345. Probably shouldn't try to double dip. :binky:

Wow that looks like a brand new pump. Will it be painted or is it a natural finish? Clear coat?

The fan hub will be black. The pump orange. If I do it "factory" , the pump will be bolted to the block and then painted.

I'll probably bolt it up since the bolt heads get painted orange too.
