Water pump package number 556283 available from WDDGM, now contains a pump with a sheet metal impellor. This pump is also being used on
production engines.
Dealer Technical Bulletin 81-T-40 defined criteria for the cast iron impellor. It must have square vanes and .045 inch clearance. It is no longer
necessary to be concerned about this if a new pump with the sheet metal impellor is used.
