My suggestion is if you have the 8 hole type (and even a spare) keep it - if you want to get rid of it I would pay $200 for it in any condition.

    - crankshaft bearings - my engine was the 3 bearing type and the bearing were smaller than the later model 3 bearing engine. (Later again a 5 bearing engine was introduced). Only place I could find the smaller 3 bearings was UK website Craddocks.

    Apparently my engine is nearly done and I will post some photo's when I get it back (My thread is Series 2 restoration in the Hunter Valley).

    Cheers
    Angus.

    Comparing water pump on my 1961 engine block with incisor's photos above: Obviously not original, having thick dark green paint on it. Does not have numbers on casting or the slotted hole on opposite side, which I presume is where generator belt tightener bolt would go. On mine, same uses next bolt hole anticlockwise.

    Maybe someone should comment here as to what else needs to be changed so later water pump could be used on an early motor if original type is unavailable. Maybe the whole timing case, which also incorporates water pump housing. Or can the existing case can be modified to allow later pump to fit properly.

    you can't use a later water pump, they sit in a different place and at a different hight with different bolt holes.

    i am lead to believe you can use a the later rebuild kit in the older housing.

    that pump came off the motor in the picture so i know it fits

    JT, when I lived in Albury, we had a wrecker who used to buy direct from the army,,, he had loads of stuff in boxes 📦,,, but alas, he has gone now, although he's still around and still a bit involved I think.
