I always look at the diagrams when working on stuff, but....tonight, I looked closer....soecifically at the “flat-wavy-flat” washers.
I have done a lot of impellers...hell, did one yesterday. I took these apart and they were the same way....however, I just looked at Simyamaha’s diagrams.
The way I “have” been adding the washers and housing is I put the washers on right above the impeller. Heck, like I said....the two impellers I just removed were done that way. i always added the metal housing into the plastic, and placed them at the same time.
I just noticed the washers goBETWEEN the metal and plastic housing.
Anyone else able to confirm or deny it matters?
Really confounded as, again...done a lot of these and I had an old guy moment and went to check and ...am totally not finishing tonight as I need to verify this.
Totally stumped lol...and tired...mostly stumped
That would mean the ones I had originally were done wrong as well.
Oh, and @Sparkdog118 ...love this impeller kit by Sierra. It barely went on the shaft and has a metal ring inside. The one I had before was rubber and slid right on. I honestly think THIS kit is going to make the difference in the cooling issue. So glad you pointed me in that direction. I never would have tried this brand.
