When a motor, say an 87 TII, overheats cause the factory reman water pump seizes up, what actually warps the irons, housings, or both?

 

Could the tension bolts warp aswell? Cuz they where hard to get out.

 

I believe the irons warp, take out a strait edge and a caliper.

Are the irons blueish at all? If so, irons might have gottend to hot and hareden the iron.. so iron might be useless. I have heard about tentions bolts stretching over time.. but I think you should be fine.

Sure more people while shime in.

 

no the irons are just shiney steel, no blueing, but the e-shaft was alittle more blued than usual, no matter I got spares. How would I check for warpage on the irons?
