we have new pumps in stock.
there are design differences in the cooling systems between the various models. you can swap them around if you are careful.
We can supply an upgraded pump set-up made for the gen 3 engines. You can fit them to earlier models with some mucking around with pipework

I cant just block the water cooler feed from the gen 2 pump? I haven't looked into it much just yet. I'll bolt the head on in the next day or 2.

Oh, so if your not using the oil cooler, then you either want to fit a gen3 pump housing which means youll also need the bypass hard lines then weld up the feed on them.

Or if you cant find the gen3 stuff, fit the gen2 na pump housing. This doesnt have the feed for the oil cooler.

Ill grab a pic of the gen3 pump etc later if you want.

Ok thanks, so I should be right just blocking the hose from hell as I'm not using the standard oil cooler?

Its not quite that simple. The gen2 water pump housing has an outlet that feeds the stock oil cooler(aka:hose from hell on earth), the gen3 one doesnt(feed is off the block)

The actual water pumps are pretty much the same, so a gen3 bottom timing cover should bolt straight on.

Yeah, that's no problem. I'd like an old one for the outlets and bits and to make a comparison to the gen2 ones.
I have completed installing the gen3 sump and oil pump on the gen 2 block. and now i just realise that the timing belt covers dont bolt up obviously. And I still have the gen 2 waterpump which has done almost no work itself.
So I can buy a new gen3 one but if someone had an old one with the outlets and rear pipework that would save me a bit.

Surely you'd be buying a new water pump yeh?

Hi, looking for a few bits from a gen3 3sgte if anyone is wrecking one.
upper and lower timing belt covers,
water pump,
there might be a couple more things when they come to mind.
Thanks
