Frequently Asked Questions:

1. Will this pulley fit my specific SBC engine with a long water pump?
   This single groove upper water pump pulley is designed for Small Block Chevy engines using a long water pump. However, it’s essential to ensure the diameter and bore size match your water pump shaft and your existing pulley for proper alignment and function. If you’re unsure, compare the dimensions with your old pulley or consult your engine’s specifications.
2. What is a “long” water pump on an SBC engine?
   Long water pumps were typically used on later Small Block Chevy engines (generally 1969 and newer, but can vary). They have a longer overall length compared to the earlier “short” water pump design, which affects the required pulley offset.
3. What happens if I use the wrong size or groove pulley?
   Using the wrong size pulley can affect the speed at which your water pump operates, potentially leading to overheating or inefficient cooling. The wrong groove type will not properly engage with your belt.
4. Is installation difficult?
   Replacing a water pump pulley usually involves removing the old pulley (often press-fit) and installing the new one, ensuring it’s properly aligned and securely attached to the water pump shaft. ¹ Specific tools might be required.
5. Do you ship cooling system parts nationwide in South Africa?
   Yes, we offer fast and reliable delivery of automotive cooling system components throughout South Africa.
