That came out great Achim and I will file that one away for later. I seen you seal, which I persume was the green object and can I ask where you found it? As the pump is just a volume pump I don't thing the impeller clearance has to be that good.

Don

Hi Don, the green object is a metric lipp seal with the dimension 8x14x4 millimeters. It is a"Volkswagen" spare part. I have choosen this because it is very close to the recommendation of Doug Kelley, who has used a 5/16" ID X 9/16" OD X 1/8" WIDE. This imperial lipp seal is also offered by S/S Machine & Engineering.

Simon, Kim, thanks for watching and the friendly comments.

Water pump, the final stage. Nothing special, making the sidecover, some gaskets and the final machining of the body.
For a trial I have made an arbor to set the lip seal. I am still waiting for the delivery of this lipp seal, same dimension, but the "BA" type, completely covered with NBR material.
The last two shots are from the pump after powder coating, assembly and first successful trial in the bathroom.

That's pretty sharp looking Achim!  And you've got it painted already and everything. You don't waste any time

Vince, Kim thanks for your friendly comments. Don't worry, my holidays will be over this weekend and I will slow down  immediately again.

Thank you for the link Achim, something else to understand, learn, buy

Hi Achim,
Where did you get the powder coating kit from.
I cannot see it for sale in uk, did you buy it in Germany.
I am looking forward to seeing the engine finished, but please slow down you are starting to make me look bad.

Hi Tony, the WAI system was available in Germany some years ago in a 220 Volt version, but the American company has stopped the delievery 1 year ago. At the moment it is only possible to by an American 110 Volt System in the States and to use additionally a 220 to 110 Volt converter.
Or, may be this could be an option http://www.electrostaticmagic.co.uk/products/powder-coating-system-1

PS: Hi Tony, just looking into the German ebay and seeing sombody offers a 220 Volt version again.

Thank you, I will look into it.

Crankshaft final stage, hopefully. Today I have soldered the crankshaft. For me a massive job, but finally it seems to come to a good result. I will add some pictures and a short video in several postings again.
The green fluid, after the soldering is citric acid, water with nearly 5% of the acid.
I have done a pre heating in the oven up to 220°C more was not possible.

As usual feel free to give any comments or ask whatever you like.
