balancer / water pump clearance
Help! I was doing a bit of dry fitting of my timing chain cover, water pump, and balancer. It apears that the balancer is going to hit the bottom of the water pump :mad:. The balancer is from Ford Racing and the water pump is Edelbrock. Am I going to have to grind on the pump to make it fit? The balancer is 6 1/2" in diameter.
BTW - It's a 351W. I should have stuck with what I knew and just but a 350 Chevy in there.;) |
SVO Damper
The damper Ford SVO sells does interfere with the water pump, and you will have to clearance the pump. They used to state this in the catalog and in with the pump. You will also more than likely need a spacer for the damper to mount your pulleys. I don't know why Ford chose to carry a damper that needs so many "alterations" when there are equally good dampers available that are just straight bolt-ons. Typical of SVO, they probably were able to buy it at a lower price.
At least you mocked things up first, it won't take that much grinding to clearance the damper. |
