Water pump propeller direction correct?

Post by Dumindu »

My car is a Toyota Tercel 1987 4WD 1452CC DX Wagon (AL25RG-ZWFDS)

This is may disassembled engine water pump.

I feel propeller direction is not the expected.

Please see this and tell weather it is correct?

Damindu,

Based on the FSM (available under the General Stickies tab in the General Section), page CO-11, your direction of flow is incorrect. Where you show water out, it is actually pulling water in from the radiator outlet and where you show water in, it is actually pushing water out of the pump and into the engine.

coolant is drawn from the lower radiator hose, that would be the low pressure or "in" side of the pump. it is pumped out into the front of the engine block around the cylinders, that would be the high pressure side.
