Title: CVR water pump leak
Post by: ToddK on November 13, 2018, 04:43:02 AM

I have the CVR extreme water on one of Jay’s water pump adapters, and the pump has developed a leak. You can see the red coolant leaking out in the picture below.

I’ve tightened the four screws at the front of the pump, but don’t want to tighten them any more in case I strip the threads. Has anyone had a similar problem, and can the pumps be pulled apart and repaired?

Well, I had a different thing happen to mine. But when they sent the replacement, the replacement leaked at the spot yours is leaking. I took it apart and put some ford grey sealant on that gasket surface very lightly.

Jay posted a picture in my old thread showing the pump apart. Might help you out.

Hey Mike, thanks for that link, it’s just what I needed. I think mine is leaking from the gasket between the front assembly and the rear section. I might get hold of the repair kit assembly and see if it fixes my leak. Thanks again.
