It most likley would not damage the engine most damage happens when coolent freezes and expands. What you could do if you are worried about this is create some kind of seal and make sure the motor has anitfreeze in it. As always speak to a mechanic before doing anything could save alot of headaches. Mike M.

My Oberdorfer raw water pump (M-18) started leaking last month as we were getting ready for our fall cruise. Pressed for time, I just ordered a new one from Featherman Enterprises. Two days later, it was on my doorstep for a total price of $203.31. The new pump has an "O" ring on the cover instead of that stupid little paper gasket that never wants to seal right. http://www.feathermanenterprises.com/ Part # N202M-15 The N at the front of the # means it has the O ring. Featherman has lots of Universal parts at reasonable prices.

If I remove it and maybe cover the area where the pump fits with a rag, could I be exposing the engine to damage from freezing? The anti freeze in the pump will run out so I can't see how I would harm the engine, but I just want to check.Bob "Eileen" 1984 #5641 Â __________________________________________________Do You Yahoo!?Tired of spam?
