Paul,

Could you point me to the posts (approx. dates) on the reason for designing the remote pump casting. I followed your intake work closely but somehow missed
the pump casting discussions.

Thanks

Dean Head

Most of the discussion took place in Nov. Dec. 2003.
The main reason was to get the pump down low so if the engine ran low on
coolant for some reason the pump would still recirculate what coolant was left
instead of pumping air. It might give you a few more minutes of engine
running in the event of a cooling system failure.

Also it lowers the profile of the engine to fit under low cowls
without having to modify the stock pump.

To clear the oil fitting you need to reverse the e-shaft drive pulley.
As shown in the third 3D.
