617 water pump - larsalan - 06-20-2013
Anyone got links to where a 617's water pump is? Is it down in by the crank?
I seen something wobbling down there in my car and I sure hope it wasnt the crank wobbling.

Ok not the water pump, not the crank but kinda the crank. I tried to take a video but it was useless, too tight of a space.
The crank pulley and harmonic balancer are turning nice and smooth.
There is something maybe a seal? behind the harmonic balancer that's wobbly looking.
hmm, time bomb

Time bomb with a short fuse. Rent a puller and get in there
Best case, it's the pulley on the balancer coming apart. worst case it's backed out and chewed up the pressed pins

I will keep ya'll posted but I think it is just the seal and grease/dirt wobbling around. I think I try some oil addative to treat seals. Swell it up a bit maybe
