Looks fantastic so far. What are you using for a water pump? I found that a Hepu P528 pump (for a Canadian 2.4L VW Eurovan 5-cyl diesel) is a great option for the D24/D24T. The pump housing and impeller are exactly the same, the only difference is that the drive sprocket has 30 teeth rather than 32. This means the pump spins a little bit faster for more coolant flow, and there is still enough adjustment range in the mounting slots to tension the timing belt even with the slightly smaller sprocket.

The other great thing is that they are a high quality Hepu pump and are easy to get, whereas the 32-tooth D24 pump is getting more and more difficult to find in high quality versions. Still not cheap, $65 for the last one I got, but at least you know what you are getting. Lately it has become pretty unpredictable what will be in the box for a D24 pump, even for brands that used to be reliable...

Thanks for the comment.
That's good to know about those hepu pumps, who is the supplier for those pumps? I have a few of the good quality bosch pumps left, so that's what I used. I would like to find a rebuilder for the old pumps, I sure do have a pile of those....

They are like an infestation, I don't think I've got a failed one yet.

A failed water pump??? I've got at least 5 I could send you, maybe more... Several with noisy bearings and at least two that leaked. They're not everlasting, though they do seem to last 200k+ a lot of the time. The worst one I saw was on member ngoma's 744 -- it leaked so bad we were sure it must have been the O-ring, which was kinda flat, so when we changed the t-belt we replaced the O-ring and put the pump back in, the bearing felt fine. Water started pouring out as soon as we began filling the radiator... had to take it back apart and put a pump in.

It would be cool to find a rebuilder for the original pumps since I am sure that a lot of us have a small collection of used ones sitting around. I don't know if it might end up costing more to have it done than it costs to just get a new one, though. The Hepu pumps are supplied by Worldpac and IMC at least, probably other wholesalers too, any reseller of their lines should be able to get it. Now and then you can still find a good-quality new D24 pump, I have a couple NOS Graf pumps still in the box, but knowing now that this works I think I would actually prefer to use the Hepu 5cyl pump -- I think the smaller sprocket and higher pump RPM is probably an advantage for cooling under a few different conditions.

Anders, how is the motor coming? Dan and I did the D24T swap in his 244 this weekend, runs great and you were right, it dropped right in on fresh motor mounts, no clearance problems and the 740 downpipe even fits perfectly, almost like somebody meant for it to go in there. We did not have to shim the mount. It's on the road and will be at the February meet...

It's coming along slowly. I will need to updates thread with some pictures.
Glad to here there's another 240 turbo diesel! I thought that was pretty cool that the d24t down pipe worked when I put mine together, just like it was meant to. What did you guys end up doing for the turbo drain?

Got a few things done last night to the engine, got the freeze plugs installed, the cleaned up manifold installed, and timing belt. Getting there.

Anders!! that engine looks amazing. I bet that thing will run like a swiss watch. I hope you are able to get it ready in time for the meet. I am sure you already know this but remember to pay attention to detail during the last steps as that is when most mistakes or items are overlooked.

I'm hoping so, I have all the parts needed to finish it up. Now I need to clean the shop and find the time to install it...

Thanks for the comment. Yep the last few steps are where most get impatient and want to get it done because it's so close... but that's where it takes most of the time. All those dang little things!
