The saga of a water pump failure.
Scrap Jackshaft
Broken Rollers! (Click for a closer look)
Where does that tensioner belong? (Click for a closer look)
 The water pump/jackshaft gears
stripped and left me on the A34 with an engine rapidly approaching the boil.
The jackshaft gear is shown left. The water pump drive gear looked similar.



The left timing chain is shown here. The arrows are indicating rollers, of which there are a good few, with up to half the roller cracked and missing!


The upper of these two is the tensioner from the left chain. You just about make out the ratchet assembly at the top of the piston.
Not a Stag part methinks?
Ready to go! but is the timing right? (Click for a closer look) Here we are all reassembled, with new chains, sprockets, tensioners and curved guides (the straight ones were fine).

But is the timing right?
