Roger,<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: comic sans ms,sans-serif">If the pump on
your car is indeed a recent replacement it is very likely, based upon my
experience with the currently available BJ8 pumps, that the bearing has failed.
<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: comic sans ms,sans-serif">Having
disassembled a few of these repop pumps that have been sent to me as "original
cores" I can confirm that these are very poorly made and it is amazing that they
operate at all.<BR>There is no facility for lubricating the bearing as it is a
sealed unit.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: comic sans ms,sans-serif">If you have the
original that was removed from your engine I would strongly recommend having it
rebuilt or rebuilding it yourself as they are of far superior design and when
correctly rebuilt last for decades.<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default
style="FONT-SIZE: small; FONT-FAMILY: comic sans ms,sans-serif">Rebuilding
instructions are <A href="http://www.netbug.net/blogmichael/?p=994">here</A> and
I can supply a kit containing the correct parts for $68.65 including US tracked
shipping although I am out of the country at present and would not be able to
get one on its way until after 19 Mar.<BR></DIV>

<DIV>I have identified that my BJ8 water pump is noisy.</DIV>
<DIV>First thought that it was the fan (bad at certain RPM) but after removing
the belt it squeaks when rotated.</DIV>
<DIV>Looking at my drivers handbook, a lube point is shown.</DIV>
<DIV>However mine does not have one, only a small rectangular hole at the top
and bottom that I think is for removing the bearing retaining clip....?</DIV>
<DIV>Noise sounds to me like a dry bearing. Is there any way to lubricate it
in situ ??</DIV>
<DIV>There is no lateral or longitudinal bearing play and the pump is
supposedly quite new per PO but not been used much.</DIV>
<DIV>Any ideas ? –or do I just bite the bullet and pull it and get a
replacement; I note bearings are over 70% of cost of complete pump.</DIV><SPAN
