Perkins prima water pump

I thought the belt cover was about the same on them all?
I can give you the bearing size.

I’ve pulled the bearing out, I assumed it would be two standard bearings and seals but no! Otherwise I’d just rebuild it

 

[Tinbasherdan]

Also if it’s this much of a rigmarole I’d sooner do an engine change, at least for soemthing I know I can get parts for!

I believe the timing chest is different, possibly disparity between pump lengths?

I fitted a late model Maestro diesel to my LDV van. Easy conversion. Had to change sump and a few other parts but can't remember touching timing cover

Standard car water pump bearings are built into the shaft, so shaft and bearings come as a unit. At one time they were all the same OD, shaft diameter and length. Pump seals came in a couple of different sizes. They were always difficult to get hold of as there was a bigger mark up on selling new pumps. Don't know if this is still the case, or if BL were using the standard bearings and seals in the 80s and 90s.

Yep finding that one out to my misery! I did find a Perkins rebuild kit on eBay that looked very much similar but can’t for the life of me find it again

Spent a grubby 30 minutes under the bench this morning looking for the one I had - it’s not there, and even if it was the seal would likely have been shot. Anyway, nothing here.

I have a water pump bearing list somewhere and its huge, certainly not one size fits all! if you get really stuck and you have the bearing sizes or even the number off the bearing I can have a look

@Tinbasherdan. Thinking about it there may be one here, let you know later.

Excellent, I’ll get the bearing number when I’m back in work on Monday too @Blobber

Bob, your collection disgusts me slightly, primarily because I don’t own any of it, but I am in awe of the levels of random crap you posses! Pm incoming
