Guest buick14 Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 I just put in a new impeller in a 60 hp nissan the little housing the impeller was in was giving me trouble putting in the impeller....so i used a little bit of grease and slid her in I was later informed that I should not have done that..................... Is that a problem??? Putting a little grease around the inner housing to allow the impeller to slip in easier??? any help and answers would be greatly appreciated!

BFSC Kevin Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 well I'm thinking that because it is the water pump and that's where the water will come through... the water might push some of the grease and run it through the engine while cooling it and therefore interfering by getting clogged or?? but this is just a wild guess of mine....

Fisherman Posted June 3, 2008 Report Share Posted June 3, 2008 If you just applied a little to lube the impeller to get it in there, don't worry, after a couple of minutes of running, all will be okay, if you put gobs of it in there, check that the water is peeing out of the hole.
