Unbielivable I am not even gonna start to vent.

I got a new Ford Waterpump and it touches the Dampner. Has this happened to anyone else with a Big SFI Dampner.....

Any Ideas are welcome... This is way way past rediculous

I hope its not pointing to an electric WP

I mean how much room does the dampner need.

IF you donate the motor to me you won't have these problems.

You probably need to carefully grind the pump a little bit. It's not uncommon.

Apparently my ex-husband made that mistake.

Yeah, minor grinding should fix it.
