Greetings Tigers,


Finally dug in on changing a slowly leaking water pump on my 65 Sunbeam =
Tiger.  The plan was to retire the original radiator at the same time.  =
The original radiator seems to be in remarkably good shape after 50 =
years thanks in part to an inline gano filter. I decided to invest in =
the direct replacement Griffin aluminum from Summit and shrink wrap the =
original rad, saving it for another day.  The Aluminum water pump from =
Sunbeam Specialities and all new hoses plus a new belt are ready to go.


I ended up successfully removing the fan, shroud, radiator, all water =
pump bolts except for one that secures through timing cover.  Naturally =
it snapped in half. Trying to ease it out put up a fight so off comes =
the pulley and then the harmonic balancer and eventually with a little =
persussion the timing cover.  The remaining bolt section was removed by =
hand - ugh. Unfortunately, there were a few casualties along the way. =20


The dip stick probably had a split tube and it broke where it enters the =
timing cover.  As far as I can tell Ford PN   C2OZ 6754 A*  62-65  DIP =
STICK TUBE W/GENERATOR V8  or from the Rootes supplemental PN =
C20Z-67s4-A would be a Ford original part number.=20


The harmonic balancer (once again from the rootes supplemental pn =
C40Z-6316-A) has that Knackered look with a lot of cracks in the rubber =
(this was replaced last century around 1992).


For what it's worth, I ordered a timing cover gasket kit (Felpro) from =
Rock Auto. It includes a pan front seal and little corner gaskets so I =
hopefully won't have to drop the pan to seal her up.


So, I am looking for some quality replacements for the dipstick tube and =
a harmonic balancer.


Would anyone have information on suitable stock type replacements, part =
numbers, cross reference parts from other models such as the Ford =
Fairlane or any other advice (such as timing cover/h2o pump bolt torque =
numbers) putting the front end of my engine and the cooling system back =
together?


Once again, thanks for all the great Tiger list info.


Sincerely,


Bill Lawrence
