Now the Loctite has set the pump can be rebuilt, The mating faces and gasket were degreased and Wellseal applied, left to set before being reassembled.

The impeller cover seal is also refitted after a bead of Wellseal is applied. All bolts were then tightened to the correct torque.

The water pump refitted clearly showing the new position of the modified pipes around the Bristell engine mount. The rubber pipes will be refitted tomorrow allowing the Loctite to further harden.

Split pins are inserted through the engine mount to retain the engine bolts should they loosen ensuring that they won’t fall out when in service.

Three of the split pins are easy to install but top right is impossible without taking the control unit off so this one was installed upside down but still does the job of retaining the bolt should it work loose.

I test fitted the engine vibration bushes onto the engine mount in preparation for hanging the engine tomorrow.

One of the miscellaneous tasks that needs to be done. The electric fuel pump fittings are screwed in after applying Wellseal around the thread ensuring the ‘water tight’ seal.

The usual resting place overnight. Hopefully the last time I’ll have to do this!
