On a previous thread I had created I had questions about getting the cover off the water jacket. Okay so I have the cover off now and have one of the pieces of the impeller. removed. There should be yet another section of the impeller still hiding down where I found the one or I'm guessing it may be down in the tube coming from the top of the pump housing. Here is a photoof the impeller and the vane that had broken off. Note on the impeller there is yet another vane which has a nice chunk ripped off of it. So guys in my group here in DE have suggested maybe it disintergrated. I'm not betting on it.
I'm curious on the best way to clean out the inside of the water jacket. I know Permatex makes a spray on stuff for helping get what is left of the gasket off but what about the corrosion on the aluminum? Is there a chemical that can eat this crap from inside or is this better being attacked with a wire wheel on a drill?
When it comes time to reassemble it was recomended I use a Permatex lane: product on the *new* SS bolts rather than never-sieze, but what about the new gasket? Permatex (the old brown/black stuff {I hate using that crap} or is there something newer and better? ???
