Q:I just bought a 1997 Honda Civic, done about 85k. There is no record of the timing belt having ever been changed so I want to get this done as a priority. My usual mechanic can't do it for a month due to other commitments so I have been ringing round for quotes, and generally these have all been to change the belt quot;plus the kit- which makes sense, change the lot while you are in there.Surprisingly, the cheapest quote I have had was from my local Honda dealer, however, they have said this is for the belt only as they don't change the tensioner/water pump on this model. Are they full of it? I'm not sure whether to take this as expertise from the car's manufacturer or total BS from some chancer trying to make money from us having to come back when other things go wrong!

This is a hot topic even among Honda enthusiasts and professionals. The whole deal about changing the water pump, as you probably know, is that the labor to do that is small once the timing belt is out of the way. However - and this is the big issue - most original Honda water pumps last a very long time, even more than 200K miles. Do you feel lucky? One big issue enters here: what sort of antifreeze has been used in it? If it still has Honda antifreeze (dark green in your 1997, as I recall) the pump is probably still good for another 100K miles even if the coolant has not been changed on schedule. If it has conventional (bright) green or some other coolant that is not known to be silicate free I strongly recommend replacing the pump with an OEM pump. See the first source for the reason. In any case, I recommend replacing the water pump with the next timing belt change if you don't do it this time. 300K miles is a lot to ask of a pump seal. I also strongly recommend not going with an aftermarket pump - OEM only. I make a habit of always replacing the pump and tensioner(s). EDIT - Shane A has a good point. If the water pump fails next year the price of a new pump and tensioner will seem trivial. The pain of higher cost is temporary, the peace of mind is lasting.

Q:The water hose hooks from the radiator to the water pump. Does an o-ring go in it? What else could be causing it to leak?

no 0-ring in it ! you either need a new clamp or hose. the cord is probably broke in yours.

Q:Is the pump head related to the water level of the entrance and outlet? If the water level of the inlet and outlet is on the same level, but higher than the height of the pump, does the pump lift need to be coupled with this height difference?

Pump head refers to the inlet and outlet pressure head, that is to say, the entrance resistance greatly affects the pump lift, of course, this inlet resistance has a degree, too large water pump does not bring water or cause water pump cavitation. If the water level at the pump inlet is the same height, the inlet flow resistance of the pump may not be considered.

Q:7.63Determine the isentropic efficency of a water pump when water enters as a saturated liquid at 96.5 kPa and exits at 5 MPa and 106 degrees C.Thanks

the only way a water pump can damage anything is if it locks up or quits working and the engine overheats and stops running. If your car has overheated enough and blew all the water out of the endgine and the head gasket went bad there may be water in your oil it would look milky like it had a milkshake in the oil. If your oil is ok and the coolant is not blowing out the tailpipe in big white clouds obscuring the cars behind you the engine may be ok as long as it has not blown steam for the last 20 minutes out the radiato Coolant may leak from the bottom of the water pump too if the water pump is bad. If the engine starts up and runds good in the morning and does not blow a bunch of steam at you it may be ok for awhile yet.r.

Q:From the days of the laying of pipe line and trouble is far away, two or more people share the idea of a water pump, controlled by the electromagnetic valve, do not know whether it is feasible, attention should be paid to each of the power may be different phase, and it is the automatic control, automatic switching request all big brother big sister what the solution of power. At the same time, the electromagnetic valve is closed to others. Turn on your own solenoid valve StopThe idea is that each pumping with its own power, so you don't have to worry about sharing electricity.

If you want to share the electricity bill, but also to pay their own, but it is difficult ~ but we can change the way ~!First of all, we use a pressure tank or a water tower to let it water automaticallyAn electric meter is installed on the water pump to measure its total power consumption ~!Then each household installed water meters independently and measured their water consumption ~!Then, according to the amount of water consumption, according to their respective proportion of electricity charges ~ but this cost is higher ~!

Q:What does the temperature range of the pump mean?

The range of temperature is less than 135 degrees Celsius, which means that the range of use shall not exceed 135 degrees celsius. Refers to the temperature of hot water, high pressure steam boiler inside the water temperature is more than 100 degrees Celsius, your pump is a high-pressure high temperature water pump, generally used for steam boiler or high temperature waterway system. For reference only.

Q:I am a business man.My Instituate name is Rockydockyard.This Institiate build up Ships,containerships etc.So we found a high pressure water pump.

I am a business man. You won't be a successful business man if you can't make your point. Good Luck...

Q:what could cause a impeller on a water pump to be completly shredded up i just had to change mine in my toyota camry and was wondering if i could do anything to prevent this from happening again?

the pump bearing did that. all you can do is change the pump and hope it last a long time.

Q:Why should the water pump be opened in time after the pump is started?

The circulating water pump outlet valve is closed when starting, normal after the water outlet valve is opened, I found that, with the valve opening, the current is slowly sinking, you tell me why?, and the other is the opposite of the pump (with the valve opening current increases).
