Rick Norris Crown Corv-8

Water pump

The water pump is a Corvette high volume reverse rotation unit, equipped with an air bleed fitting and braided hose from Evans Cooling.

Evans also suggested plugging the by-pass and weep holes in the pump, as the Evans propylene glycol coolant is viscous.

The wider shot below provides a view of the water pump and water neck installation with the Evans hose running between the two. It also provides a view of the serpentine belt assembly, the trick alternator mounting hardware and a close up shot of the fuel rails and injectors.

As we move forward, the valve covers in the picture  below will be replaced with some custom Corv-8 covers of Rick's own design.
