Couldn't find a herrafrush Torino :bang:

:topic:

:bitchslap: :twak: : bad taste :guns:

Well good and bad? :lol:

These pumps are elegant in their simplicity.

This is the optional side pickup manifold is what I think they call it. It has two long studs and one small allen bolt that attaches it to the pump housing and two small o-rings around the fuel passages.

http://i291.photobucket.com/albums/l...psd7a62afd.jpg

The housing is machined out of AL and hard anodized. The drive shaft and the secondary shaft ride in 4 small roller bearings. One on each half of the housing.

The good is my housing looks great. Clean with no pitting or corrosion to be found. The pump gears are shimmed on the shaft, I presume to obtain spot on operating height within the two steel plates that surround them within the housing. There the gears in the shim stack have a small amount of vertical play on the shafts but don't rock or move horizontally on the shafts. So I assume they are within operating tolerances and normal.

Now some bad

The main shaft has some bluing where it rides in the bearing. The bearing also has a roller or two with a faint coloring to them. So it appears I have one of four bearing bad in the housing.

Scratching the shaft with my fingernail (yes JerDog my manicurist would be horrified:hairpullout: ) I don't feel any scoring and no pitting is evident. I checked the shaft with a mic and there isn't any difference in Dia so I'm pretty sure just a bearing swap and I'm in business.


I think:headscratch:

Dude that pump is neat-o. Definitely pro tracking.. I mean Pro Touring. :sieg:

Would be very cool if you decided to run it.

Wow! That is a niece piece!

So I gave Waterman call. I can send the pump to them and they will rebuild and flow it for $110 + parts which a set of 4 bearings runs $54.

$40 for the pump + $110 + $54 = $204 for a fresh fuel pump ready to run. WTH I'm in, I bought a cable.

I just need the adapter plate for the back of the PS pump and I'm set. actually I need to start shopping for a PS pump.

Cool. Good move. Did you talk to Allan ?

Yes sir I did.:D

Man this thread is getting way to high tech for me! Rob I thought you were just building a Ford?? :mock:

^^^ WHERE'S IT GOING???^^^^

:lostmarbles:

That looks like a sweet bit of gear, very race. So how does it drive from a power steering pump?

As long as your PS pump has the three hole pattern and a hex drive on the back of the shaft you just use an adapter plate.

I was going to run a KSE tandem pump which is a PS/Fuel combo with a phelonic heat barrier in between the two halve.

Researching that option I saw a lot of guys substituting the Waterman pump on the tandem set up. :headscratch:

Then I saw the divorced style cable pumps and got hooked on the idea. :D

Add to that the Waterman cable pumps were used by the top finishing NASCAR teams the last few years and I'm hopelessly hooked on the idea.:yes:

yup yup.... you're gona need all that light weight stuff!!

Warning!..... Off Topic because not much else is going on around here. (Dave told me to do it... said something about you pooping in his thread) lol

I been told that Matt and Rob both have a thing for the "HellaFlush" movement. Apparently they text back and forth pictures of cars with "HellaFlush" and discuss which ones they would choose.

Some more examples found at a car show in San Diego near Matt.

Also I have a new found appreciation for Rob.... as he likes to secretly work on Camaros.

http://i1113.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2cca2c51.jpg

I can't believe I went auto crossing today. Hella flush + Green Flash brewery = perfection. I completely forgot about the show so I decided to spend my day picking up cones for miata drivers.

That's gonna make you at least 1.5 sec slower... whatever he's doing.

At least you got some good beer.

Rob, you shoulda just got one of these:

Dave, I didn't end up having any time to drop by. Instead Rob and I had to live vicariously through Brett.

Oh the horror. :eek:

I think Rob has been living vicariously through others since his registration on Lateral G back in 2007. :hitaxeonthehead:

And it probably culminated with him working on the Fab 53 Camaro. :lol:

Like the rest of us, Rob sees GW living vicariously through Charlie L. and just thought it was the right thing to do. ;)


And now we can do the same with David Pozzi and that lil Lola. :cool:³

I think I had seen this version in the "Eastwood" catalog. It is made for rolling fender lips while driving :thumbsup:

I didn't meticulously read thorugh the last few pages so ignore me if I'm off base, but if you are planning on running a P/S pump as part of the dry sump pump system, I think you will be disappointed in the P/S action at low engine speeds. The normal P/S pump is spinning faster or at least equal to the front crank speed. Running if off the back of a dry sump pump you are running it quite a bit slower than engine speed, it may result in a lack of assist at low speeds where you need it most.

So I might have mis-understood what you're intending to do, but something to think about.

Preston

I forgive you for not reading more diligently.:snapout: Maybe the picture of the Tandem it isn't obvious that the PS pump I intend to use is a pulley driven style so I can tailor the pump speed as needed.

The Waterman pump is rated to 17000 rpm so I don't need to worry about over revving it.

You just can't trust a secret with anyone these days.:bang:

Thanks Dave:bitchslap: You better put additional security on that car while it is away from home. Otherwise you never know who may be wrenching on it.:whistling:

I'm liking the falcon. Brett only keeps cheap beer @ the house or he wisely hides the good stuff. Not sure which is true but after him rolling me under the bus with that picture I'm starting to lean one direction.;)
:cheers:

Come on man, you need to to a better job of keeping up appearances around here. First all the Chevy love, and next I bet you'll be posting up pictures of wide tires on skinny wheels.

the correct response (from a Ford person, which you claim to be) to the picture of you working on the Camaro is that Ford gear heads have to work on Chevy's because they don't ever have anything to fix on their Fords.

Matt

Are you coming out of the closet and admitting you true Mustang love?

Here are a couple of pictures you should like.:D

:cheers:

Dude. The wrecked Camaro pics are below the belt. :twak:

That would be like you admitting you love Chevys. Think about it...

Rob,

Did you get your pump back yet?

Knowing that Rob likes and owns Fords and Corvettes, I have found the perfect vehicle for him. I believe is in negotiations at this very moment to be the proud new owner of....

http://bringatrailer.com/2013/09/03/...vette-special/

Wow!! "Forvette...." I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself. Hahahahahaha!! Now that is just too dang on funny.....Forvette. That name......Forvette. Hahahahahaha!!

Both Flash and Rob have excellent taste in cars.


:tiptoe:

:hello: Torino updates?

Should be done by now :stirthepot:

Not even close. :lol:
