Bill,
I'd check for interference with the pump housing, Specifically check the
pass side pump casting at 10 o'clock position hitting the inside of the
pulley where it tapers. Mine required a little burr work to clear. Also
needed a couple of dead blow hammer taps to drive the pulley home.
Also, has the key slide backwards out of the keyway?

Subject: [TR] Moss 6 vane water pump
Has anyone had experience with these 6 vane water pumps from Moss?
I picked one up for my TR3a (TR4a engine).
I've noticed two things:
The shaft material is soft, and
The shaft is shorter than stock.
The shaft lenght concerns me the most since it does not fully fill the
cavity in the pulley.
As a result the nut is not fully driven home. It is an elastic stop nut.
I also used Locktite as a backup.
thanks,
Bill
