AZKC, that's cool.    OP6-V is becoming a reality.   Posted by: knuckle head on April 26 2003,4:15 am <00FFFF'>Very nice KC.  If you don't mind me asking, how much did that run ya?

Berkeley, Dominator, American Turbine, etc.  That Panther seems very different though.  Primarily, the bowl size is a lot smaller.  The impeller must be longer to compensate or something.

Not to scare ya but I thought my pump was rattling too(which I think they all do alittle) but my main rattle was a rod bearing on its way out and the BAM. Heres a link to Jims web site, great guy and seems to know his stuff     < http://performancejet.com > KC Posted by: AZKC on April 26 2003,12:22 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Very nice KC.  If you don't mind me asking, how much did that run ya? BR -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Well total with shipping was right at $1700.00 the main expense was putting in a sleeve(which gives tighter than stock clearances) in the suction housing labor and parts for that was almost $1200.00. The pump was over 20 years old and had never been touched. Now its good for another 20 years.

Posted by: AZKC on April 26 2003,4:18 pm OK the fockers in, I learned so much in the last 8 hours(one thing is my wife BC is a great helper, thanks honey) I'm going to have to get my own .com to post it all.  Any and everything that had a chance to go sideways did. Oh well it will make a good story for later A little bummed that I won't make a lake trip tomorrow, but pretty stoked about being as close as I am. Have to tackle some small electrical issues in the cockpit area and go over everything for the 100th time Detailed report to follow, looking back its pretty gad damm funny. KC Posted by: Napanutt on April 26 2003,4:20 pm Hey KC,are you the one that I read about who "grenaded" their jet drive into who knows how many pieces and if so do you know why,how etc. Posted by: Napanutt on April 26 2003,4:40 pm ---------------------QUOTE BEGIN------------------- Hey KC,are you the one that I read about who "grenaded" their jet drive into who knows how many pieces and if so do you know why,how etc. -----------------------QUOTE END-------------------- Also,KC,I can really appreciate how much help a wife can be(besides the obvious).We pulled three engines and replaced them with two in just over and month and a half and I couldn't have done it with out her(quality family time)?!?!

No I blew my motor 2 years ago and just got around to fixin it and decided to do the pump also. Took last summer off to take the wife to Cancun for our 25th, that pretty much took all the boat money, but it was a great trip   Miller and I built motors over the winter, if you haven't ck'd out the thread yet heres a link, lots of pics you can see my cool shop, its my back porch   < Motor Rebuild > KC Posted by: Napanutt on April 26 2003,6:37 pm Cool! I remember those days though I hope I don't have to go through that any time soon.Was kinda fun but a pain in the ass and kind of expensive.
