The fun continues. I got my 215 running last night for the first time in 8 months! Then, I immediately noticed that I had a few more issues than I thought. My water pump is leaking from the lower mounting bolt and one of the two pulley channels on the the harmonic balancer has a huge chip out of it as does the channel on the water pump pulley.

Does anyone have a two belt harmonic balancer or water pump pulley for a 52 215 in their parts stores or know where I could come by one? I have found a water pump but I'm not seeing any pulleys that look like the ones in my truck.

 

I think you have to press the water pump pulley off your old pump and onto the rebuilt pump. Be very careful when you do this.

Another member was recently looking for a crank pulley. I have one, but have been away for a few weeks. If the other member isn't interested in my pulley I will message you about it.

 

I sent my spare harmonic balancer/crank pulley to the other member. Your turn. Stu

 

I'm not above begging to get this thing back on the road. I'm really interested if that other member doesn't need it. Unfortunately the pulley on the water pump is chipped too. So I'm in the market for both.

 

FWIW, and not to be intended as a recommendation, but I've seen many old pulleys with small chips missing run for years without issue.

 

Hey Coupe, I sent you a PM about that pulley. Let me know if you didn't get it.

 

I have a spare pulley with some chips if you are stuck.

Sorry I did not see this until today, I'm the guy who needed one but Stu already sent me his old one. However I do have a spare pulley for the water pump if you're still in need of that, just pm me. Sorry I did not see this sooner.
