Hey all,
As it states, I purchased a new water pump from a Honda dealer. I noticed that the new pump blades sit out further than the original blades.
When you try to install it, the blades make contact with the coolant passage assembly which effectively prevents the pump from moving.
I noticed the pulley is also designed differently and does not have the curved spokes. The new one is flat .
Has anyone else run into this odd problem? Honda has no answers of their own.
Thanks
