My newly purchased 07 250 has the dreaded water pump/clutch cover problem!

I've ordered the bits and they'll be here tomos

My question is....Which way round should the blue seal fit behind the impellor?

To keep the water out of the oil(Spring in seal facing impellor)

Or to keep the oil out of the water(Spring in seal facing gearbox)

Mine is currently fitted so the spring is facing the impellor?

I presume it is fitted this way as there will be more pressure coolant side than gearbox side?

Cheers Andrew.

yes always put spring side to where the most pressure build up is going to be

Spring to the impeller matey

On a related "we all need to keep this from continuing to happen" kinda note are you:

Using the stock kill button switches?

Using a "it doesn't react to mag" formula of coolent?
