replace waterpump?
Hi guys,
I have got the waterpump out of my 590e. The engine hasn't run for 30 years, so there's quite some rust.
The pump doesn't looks that good to me. I'm thinking of replacing it by a new one.
What do you think?

I would not buy a new pump in a hurry. You might need something else too for that engine. The pump can have two faults. The bearings are noisy and worn or the seal is leaking. How it looks does not matter mutch. If you buy a new I recomend a complete, because it is not mutch cheeper with the repairkit. The Major pump will fit.
The problem will be most likely bearing rusted and seal stuck to the shaft which will tear on the first turn. I would fit a new pump but would agree with Grani, wait until you know what else you need.

Hi guys,
Is the waterpump for a 4 cylinder the same as the one for a 6 cylinder?
When I removed the waterpump, I noticed, that there's quite some rust on the inside of the engine.
Does anybody have an idea how to remove this? Probably take the engine apart?
Or maybe flushing the engine with some kind of fluid? But I don't think my new waterpump will enjoy the rust...

If you take the liners out you are going to have an empty block. That would be the time to clean it but as Grani says, the rust is no problem. Even if it is loose, it settles to the bottom of the block and just lies there.
