<DIV>I guess the other alternative was that the bolt broke a second time..., at
the block – which would have been far worse. But, yes, it can seem like so much
work for such a small reason at times. If the timing cover is off how is
the timing chain? Even if it is decent a good roller chain will be greatly
appreciated by your grand kids (and maybe their kids too) if you are passing the
car down.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=3>Greetings Tigers,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>Finally dug in on changing a slowly leaking water pump on my
65 Sunbeam Tiger. The plan was to retire the original radiator at the same
time. The original radiator seems to be in remarkably good shape after 50
years thanks in part to an inline gano filter. I decided to invest in the direct
replacement Griffin aluminum from Summit and shrink wrap the original rad,
saving it for another day. The Aluminum water pump from Sunbeam
Specialities and all new hoses plus a new belt are ready to go.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>I ended up successfully removing the fan, shroud, radiator,
all water pump bolts except for one that secures through timing cover.
Naturally it snapped in half. Trying to ease it out put up a fight so off comes
the pulley and then the harmonic balancer and eventually with a little
persussion the timing cover. The remaining bolt section was removed by
hand - ugh. Unfortunately, there were a few casualties along the way.

<DIV><FONT size=3><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3>The dip stick probably had a split <FONT
face="Arial, sans-serif">tube and it broke where it enters the timing
cover. A</FONT></FONT><SPAN

<DIV><FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt"><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">The harmonic

Knackered look with a lot of cracks in the rubber (this was replaced last
century around 1992).</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif">For what it's
worth, I ordered a timing cover gasket kit (Felpro) from Rock Auto. It includes
a pan front seal and little corner gaskets so I hopefully won't have to drop the
pan to seal her up.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, sans-serif">So, I am
looking for some quality replacements for the dipstick tube and a harmonic
balancer.</SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Would anyone have information
on suitable stock type replacements, part numbers, cross reference parts from
other models such as the Ford Fairlane or any other advice (such as timing
cover/h2o pump bolt torque numbers) putting the front end of my engine and the
cooling system back together?</FONT></FONT></DIV>
