Can you say: Cavitation

I don't think the stator damage is cavitation related...but I may be wrong.

I posted some great pics of cavitation destruction of a stocker SJ aluminum impeller over at PWCT a while back. I should dig up those pics.

Ugly, for sure.

I actually posted multiple pics (of pump) to link in an email to Dave @ impros. The cavitation I was referring to was on the Impeller.

The stator damage was most likely from the previous owner, one on the blades on the impeller has a big rock ding... draw conclusions here.


I think the impeller is stock, so I will be replacing it.

That does look like a cavitation damaged aluminum impeller, indeed.
The one I had was about three years down the road from that -already bad - state. It had holes eated just about through the hub. :bigeyes:

Yup it's still on there. I kinda gave up on it now. I needed a Blaster drive shaft and bought this one with the understanding it was correct. Well look at the pic, it's a 144 pump, but the shaft is longer than the Blaster's.

Any idea what this other one is for??

Anyone?

Anyone?

Michael, those stock stator veins need some cleaning up. Did you send the pump off to be blueprinted, or are you going to grind it yourself?
