Default anyone have a WPPP Kit?

in case you're wondering...that's a water pump pulley pinning kit
to prevent the water pump pulley from being spun off the pump, dancing around under the hood like a pinball machine, then exiting out from under the truck and darting towards the wall...all of this resulting from the ProCharger taking a after 6+ years of service & performance while making the virgin pass down the 1320...on the new motor and tranny...
now the good news!
12.58 @ 98mph...
on a really fumblephruck of a run

Congrats on the run! I would just tack the pulley onto the water pump shaft....I have seen that done before with zero issues.

Holy crap man; that's a good run but damn you've been breaking a lot of stuff lately. Courtesy of MSS?

I'd go with BC's suggestion and just tack it on there; I've never seen a pinning kit for the water pump.....isn't it pressed on anyway?

the WPPP kit was a lame attempt at a joke...
we hammered it back on
and I drove 2.5 hours home on it with a stock length belt (courtesy of quicksilverado ) @ 75-80mph

it was MSS at its finest!

I think the bearings took a

Yeah the bearings have probably seen better days since it took Al about an hour to beat the pulley back on with a hammer. Where is my spare belt Al?
