Took the water pump off earlier
No tapping
Put it back with no bolts
No Tapping

Tightened it all up, back to tapping.
Ordered another water pump and will see what happens, but it looks promising. Fingers crossed!

Are you missing a gasket at all?

Not that I'm aware of?

Have you not got a local bike mechanic that can have a quick listen for you?

The chap who did my chain did and said nothing to worry about.
It's really annoying though :/

[Paulfzs]

he sounds a bit simple, take it elsewhere as that noise isnt normal.

[ChristoT]

I'd suggest asking Deefer666 to look at it - he knows the 600 engine backwards

A well known reputable Chap around here though I get what you're saying and I know it isn't normal it'd awful l.

Feeder is so far but perhaps a nice day out!

he may well be but the sound is not right, to say it is is completely wrong, maybe hes waiting for it to go bang.


maybe he is a good mechanic but a mechanic wont get big jobs fixing the little jobs.

some say he eats fazer cranks for breakfast
others say he was the bi product of an explosion in cylinder #3


all we know is, hes called feeder!

[davidkent]

Damn I love auto correct lol

I've been looking again.

It is DEFINITELY water pump related but not the pump.
If I undo the bolts and lift the pump slightly the noise goes.

If it's in there flush and the bolts are in there's a noise.

The shaft must be damaged or slightly off true or something.

My guess is that this will be a massive job to have put right unless by some miracle it's a semi removable part???

Cheers

[davidkent]

Anyone know where the drive for the water pump actually goes?

[ChristoT]

I believe it runs off the same shaft as the oil pump. That's a clutch out job.

[Deefer666]

As my young Padawan says, the water pump is driven by the oil pump which is in turn driven by the clutch basket. Bring it up to Molesworth I'll have it fixed in no time.....

[davidkent]

Wow I'm excited.
Clutch out is easy enough isn't it?
So is this replace oil pump time or separate parts?

Deefer what would you charge including parts?
You're a way away but wouldn't be the end of the world.
I want it fixed so badly to enjoy for the summer, alternatively I'd have a go myself if it were a reasonable job

Cheers

[Deefer666]

getting the clutch out isnt much of an issue, removing the clutch basket is a bit more fiddly. I cant give a accurate costing of the job until I get it apart, BUT I have an inkling of whats wrong and absolute worse case would be less than £200 but i would imagine it would come in at far less than that.

[davidkent]

A drop in the ocean of what I've spent on the thing so far!

Perhaps I'll look into some time I can get to you though you're 3 hours each way or so.

Is this likely a job I could do?
I can do a fair bit not a total novice or anything.

I'm happy to pay just a long way and if something went wrong...

Thanks

[Deefer666]

I have so many engine spares even if something was horrendously wrong it would not be much of an issues, Like I said it could be a couple of things but until its opened up a definitive solution cant be given, Just out of interest when your new cam chain was fitted do you know if it was a continuous chain or a split rivet link type?

[davidkent]

It was a continuous chain but I bought the soft link for it.
used a link recommended on here from wemoto  I think it was.

Cheers

[Deefer666]

Right so the engine wasnt split to fit the can chain, just the head taken off?

[davidkent]

Not head off. New chain joined to old and fed through.

The noise  began months before I had the chain done. I assumed it was the chain so had it done and it wasn't the chain
