In need of a little help here, was about to fix the main problem with my hi-jet a bad water pump. Simple fix I belive but here is the problem, the previous owners removed it and I have nothing. By looking at the block my pump has 5 bolts. There is two studs coming out of the motor and three tapped holes in the block. I am assuming there is a water neck made onto the waterpump becouse one hose from the radiator is aimed directly toward the pump. Every where I look I see a pump like pictured for the newer h-jets. But by looking at the block it doesn't look right. I am belive my Hi-jet is fairly old by researching on the internet. Anyone got a picture or a advice. I am going to call the daihatsu help line tommrow. Scott
Scott, Just changed a water pump out on a Daihatsu last week will get back to you later this morning. Steve www.stevesautomn.com
I do belive that is it. I looked around last night and I belive I found one for sale. Would like to buy on out right, the one I found is in an auction. Anyone got a idea on what one cost new and were you can find one. I found one members website shows one but $200. Scott
water Scott, If you are interested I can rebuild the water pump for you and include a new gasket. If you are interested e-mail me at minitrucks@bellsouth.net Thanks, Chad
Just wanted to say thanks for everyones help on the water pump. I searched and finally found one on ebay. $74 shipped to me, brand new I belive that was a good find looking at other prices. Second question, Someone got a rough measurement on the OD measurements of the pulley. I am missing it, and belive if I cannot come up with one I can turn one out on the Lathe. Just looking I would say it wasn't over 3.5" maybe. Scott
