This won't work for a 2008 252...unless you know of some modifications that will make this work....like a huge set of scissors and a sewing machine.![]()
(Btw, the carpet in that pic is for the engine platform walk-thru, engine platform step, and aft seat of the 260 series.)

Re: Newbie from Spring, TX
Do you have a picture of the bracket that prevents the impeller housing from spinning?dobone wrote: Thu Apr 16, 2020 5:38 pm The impeller was trashed. I think most that water was from me filling up the water spout to test.
Upon removing the thermostat is gives 2 options. One for 140, the other for 160 degree. Why pick one over the other?

If it sounded like cooking bacon you better do a compression test before you do anything else.

This sounds like a 5.7 engine from Texas and 1 story ago doesn't it?

Sorry OP not picking on you. It sucks as yours was the impeller.
