Hello everyone, Digging further into the 400 ci engine on my 78 NYB to reveal the timing chain, I am having trouble getting the water pump/housing off. After removing the bolts holding the pump housing to the block, the whole thing is stuck. Is it supposed to come off with some puller? I have banged and prised(as the Brits say) and heated the housing with a small torch(but maybe not heated it enough?), but it is stuck. I've been hesitant to apply too much force or heat... Any suggestions? BTW, I learned by doing it that the only way I could get to the crank pully was to remove the fan from the end of the water pump. Thanks for any advice.
