Chev 216 loose piston pin - which one ?

Never use wheel bearing grease in a water pump , the temperature is too hot , and it will melt out , and run dry . Use special water pump grease ,like what you have to put in a Dodge screw in lubricator

Wheel bearing grease is high temp rated , that is why I am using it . I don't agree with your theory , sorry

BTW I suggest that you do some research before splurting out incorrect information .

Sorry , do some research , I come from the lubricant busines , and if you talk about wheel bearing grease , then this is not high melting point grease by standard , then you should have mentioned it , I just wanted to warn , and help .

Hi Mike,
I am with Maurice on this, I only use proper water pump grease when overhauling pumps. Having been in vehicle engineering world for 48 years, you learn what to use and what not. It is formulated to work in a pump environment with heat and water present, where wheel bearing grease is not suitable.

regards, Richard

When you are ready with the waterpump, check if there is any play on the crankshaft pulley, if you can move it just a bit on the balancer it sounds like a worn bearing.
Just listened the video for the first time, now I am almost sure your pulley is loose on the balancer.

Hello Richard,

Can you please supply the name of the product and manufacturer for the water pump grease?

I did do some research and I found it difficult to discern between automotive "water pump grease" and irrigation pump-type "water pump grease".

I am not sure if irrigation pump-type "water pump grease" does effectively transfers across to an automotive use?

I found this product mentioned on a number of forums - including outboard motors for boats and also Mopar.

The company mentioned is "Lubliplate Div of Fiske Bros"; their web site cites that LUBRIPLATE "No. 115 is the ideal water pump lubricant. These lubricants offer a long lasting film of protection for light duty applications." http://www.lubriplate.com/Products/M...30-Series.html

Technical details about No. 115, accessed from an Amazon page - LUBRIPLATE No. 115 is the ideal water pump lubricant.
