wear

I have a 21' Hondo day cruiser with jacuzzi JW with place diverter and olds 455. Engine runs very good with stock build except comp cam, eldelbrock torquer intake and Holley 750 pumper carb. Seems the boat is more sluggish than it used to be and turning more RPM than usual. I turn 3200 -3400 all...

I am rebuilding a 12jc and the impeller clearance will be a little tight with an undersized .045 wear ring. Question, Do I install the .045 wear ring and cut the impeller to .025 clearance, or can I get a wear ring to the exact clearance needed to match my impeller?

Im sure this is a stupid question(s). But i wanted to run it by you guys. Currently, i have an "undersize" Ultimate wear ring in my boat. Its .010 undersize. When i measured my old impeller it came out to 7.220 and Duane recommended a .010 undersize and never run it on the trailer. Now i...

During recent teardown/inspection I noticed that the spline on the input shaft to top gear appears to be getting beat up on one side (top side in photo right were gear sits), causing slop between the gear and shaft. How bad is too bad? Time for a new shaft? Thanks Chuck

I am sure this is out there somewhere, what is the trick to removing a wear ring? I have a shouldered wear ring with a non shouldered insulator. I heated the wear ring with a torch until it glowed red and the insulator never melted. I tried a pry bar and screw drivers. It will not budge. Any...

I have a 1977 Glen Coe and I was looking for a place to get the stuff to repair the wear ring it looks like it was fiberglass. anyone have an idea and possible cost of material?

I have a couple of old wear rings and i would like to find out what size they are but i don't have a caliper large enuf to measure the inside diameter. Can someone tell me what the thickness of a standard one is and i can figure it out that way? Or is that possible?

What would cause this? I dug a few chunks of balled up bronze out of the grooves in the impeller skirt. It is obviously contacted the wear ring some how, but when installed a few years ago the clearances were good and it rotated freely. I did seize up a motor a few years back while running at...

deciding on ring , shouldered brass, shouldered stainless. non shouldered with a stuffer. going with an new aluminum a imp. the suppliers site (if I understand) seems to say the brass ring may require slight machining to the shaft to set up .the stainless ring takes shims to set up. whats the...

WEAR RINGS Pro's and Con's shouldered on Non shouldered?? I was installing a wear ring last night,( NON shouldered) and it got me thinking, when do you use a non shouldered vs a shouldered??

I pulled the V/C to loosen rockers for a timing gear change and noticed this . The roller tip chewed into the rocker body and left this odd pattern on the valve stem . Is the bow tie pattern OK ? or should they be straight ?Unfortunatly I didnt check lash prior to pulling rocker .

Does any one know any thing about this style wear ring. Tom this is exaxtly like the Wear ring that came out of My pump except the plastic ring is black.

Hi How tight should the blue plastic ring be on the bronze wear ring on the impeller when fitting it. It seems to me to be too tight / I can get it on ok but is a slight tap fit to get it in position. Then the OD of the blue ring into the housing / what should the fit be like there. Stainless...

Ok guys I am questioning myself. I heated up the insulator ring and as it was melting i removed the brass wear ring. The insulator looks ok I think. My new wear ring will not go in. Do I need to heat it up again and slide it in? I have a pic I will post in just a few

Long story just went through my jet, time to put the impy in and I would have swore I had heard on here a few weeks prior someone said to set em at 010. Long story short lookin at another wear ring thread on a different board got my curiosity up and the berk manual says .025 - .035. I don't mind...

The US Army Core of Engineers is quietly doing a “Life Jacket Study” and this year they have chosen a lake that I frequent Pine Flat Lake, Ca. From April 1st 2011 through October 31st 2011 all persons aboard a vessel will be required to wear a Life Jacket anytime the engine is running. From my...

The Ultimate Wear Ring has a much lower coefficient of friction to water as compared to that of a metal wear ring. This reduces frictional horsepower loss within the pump's mechanical assembly (between the impeller and wear ring), which slightly reduces the load on the engine, allowing the...

While looking at my trailer after a long trip, i noticed the wear pattern on the left tire to be only the "outside" tread on the tire...??? The rest of the tire had normal wear but the outside tread was worn way more than the rest, AND it was only about 12-18" long(if you were to put a tape...
