Playing with the idea of what it will take to rebuild a type 4 pump.
The pump that came out of my 2.0L engine is trashed from pumping rust. Both the gears and the housings are seriously scored.  I figured I'd roll the dice and see what might be on Ebay. Took a gamble and bought a used pump hoping I might get some core parts that are useful.  I did end up with a good housing outer. However, the gears are pitted and it the inner housing plate either has a serious casting flaw, or some sort of galvanic corrosion that pitted it. I always struggle with this kind of thing. It really would have minimal effect on the pump and it probably worked OK for a lot of years. However, I'd just like to know that it is perfect going before going into a engine.   It looks like new inner plates are available but at a cost of $150+. I decided that since I have a donor "scrap" pump, I have nothing to lose by experimenting with machining it. |
