I have never heard of this problem on a XJ6 though. > The place at which they corrode away is at the lower part of the water pump cavity. This is behind the impeller area, but not the working side of the impeller. The area should be a fairly low flow area on the high pressure side of the pump. But it's close enough to the ouput side of the impeller that turbulence could be present. Whatever the cause, I do see the corrosion pitting often enough. There may be clue in that it's not very often when merely changing water pumps. I see it on engines being rebuilt. Engines get rebuilt because they have done some high mileage, or have been abused/neglected. > >Jim Cantrell > > Randy K. Wilson randy@taylor.infi.net References:
