re: water pump
Max
When the water pump failed on my Sprint it gave an odd =
noise. If left it will start to weep water and eventually sieze
up, which will break the fan belt and so deprive the =
alternator of any drive
If it does fail the engine will overheat (although on a cool
night at a low constant speed it will run without seriously
overheating for quite a distance).
To check the bearings, loosen off the fan belt and check
for play on the pulley wheel and for a reasonably smooth
operation.
All the best
Keith
