The series 4 had cooling problems as the water traveled through the
engine too fast, there is a vast difference in output hp and the series

6

of mine runs cool even in high temps over high speed hours of running.
The aluminum water pumps on series 4 and 5 are an after market supply
and cost around $90 Aus.

Sure is a bargain on those Aluminum aftermarket pumps.  Only US source I saw
wanted $500.00 for an aluminum pump cartridge.  I wouldn't mind having one
of those series 4 jobs.  Anyone else interested?

    Paul,
     I presume series 4 is 86-88 & series 5 is 89-91. 

I think you are right.

 The main difference I
 observe between them is larger shaft on series 5. try to find a reliable
 supplier while down under. I am with Tracy, I want one also. Maybe we can
 get up a group order before your trip.

I'll see what I can do but my wife says I am on vacation!
