<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. </FONT></DIV>
<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.

Ford PN C2OZ 6754 A* 62-65 DIP STICK TUBE
W/GENERATOR V8 or from the Rootes supplemental PN C20Z-67s4-A would
be a Ford original part number.</SPAN><SPAN

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">has that 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-FAMILY: Arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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-FAMILY: Arial, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">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>
