88 water pump

[1999MJ]

Quick question for you guys. I swaped in a 95 HO long block with the Renix injection and used all the 88 acc. but left the 95 water pump on there. Can any one tell me if there's a diference between the 88 and 95 pump. Is one standard rotation(88)? and is the 95 a reverse rotation? Reason I ask is because I just fiored up the engine and it's over heating. I replaced the thernostat, got all the air out of the system and pybassed the heater core (Needs to be replaced) and has a new Rad and hoses. If any one has any info please let me know. Thanks

what intake did you use. Isn't the 88 a wet manifold and the 95 a dry. Could this block some passages in the head causing the overheating? I am just guessing.

I just double checked and the part number are the same for a '88 and '95.

 

Part #5533116

 

So I would say there the same pump.

 

What condition is the radiator in, could you have blockage in it???

The PO said the radiator was new but just noticed last night it had a leak so I just got back from the parts store and decided to change it to the open style cooling system so I got new rad,heater core and a fresh water pump just to be 100% sure. Some budjet build this turned out to be :headpop:
