[Tigers] Dimensions of Water pump for 289

[Ron Fraser]

 The distance from the pump face to the hub is Tiger specific.   See the
Shop Manual then check your pump.     Please note the numbers for this
distance are NOT correct in the Manual, so check your pump.   Also check
that when the pump is on the engine that the fan belt is straight between
all the pulleys.   This is another indication that you have the original
parts or at least the right distance.

Distance in the Manual    260    5.15"		289     5.43"
Correct Numbers		    4.875"		            5.1"

The source of the correct numbers is  "The Sunbeam Survivor"  from TE/AE.

	I encourage everyone to check the pulley alignment on their Tiger.
This tells you whether or not someone has replaced parts and knew what they
were doing or if anything else might have been changed.  2nd - you know the
water pump hub is in the correct position or not; you can rebuild your water
pump or buy a new one and put the hub to the correct distance.  See the Shop
Manual about measuring the distance.   Note; the water pump hub B9ME-8553-A
could be a unique Tiger part.

Hi all.  I have been told that the dimensions of the water pump in the
workshop manual are incorrect. Argh. The manual says 5.4 inches or 13.8
centimeters from the mounting surface to the face of the fan hub.  So, does
anyone know the correct measurement from the fan hub face (where the fan
bolts on) to the mounting surface on the later type of water pump on the
Mark 2's 289 engine?  This information would be very helpful to me.  Thanks.
