“T-handles” into either of the
dowel pin holes on the end-
plate through into the housing
Snug the endplate close to the
housing and install the 3/8 hex
head bolts
(Liquid Cooled Only) The 3/8 hex
bolts located on the waterjacket
side of the pump housing need to
have high temperature (Red) RTV
Silicone re-applied
Tighten the endplate bolts to
35-40 ft-lbs of torque
Repeat the process for the op-
posite endplate, but make sure
to install the “T-handle” dowel pin
on the same side of the hous-
ing as the other endplate, so as
to prevent the rotor from twisting
when the endplates are fully bolted
into place
Rotate the housing right side up
again, so the pump feet are on the
work station

hanging out of the inlet, and
