Water Pump Spacers

What is a Water Pump Spacer?

A water pump spacer is a crucial component in certain engine setups, particularly in high-performance applications. It is a precisely engineered spacer that is placed between the water pump and the engine block. Its primary purpose is to adjust the distance between the water pump and other engine components. Water pump spacers are commonly used in engines where precise belt alignment is essential or where additional clearance is required for specific accessories.

What are Water Pump Spacers Used For?

Water pump spacers serve several important functions in an engine setup:

• Belt Alignment: Water pump spacers help achieve proper alignment of the drive belt, ensuring efficient power transmission and reducing wear on the belt.
• Cooling System Modifications: In engines with custom cooling systems or modified components, water pump spacers can provide the necessary clearance for these modifications.
• Accessory Clearance: Some engines require extra clearance for components like alternators or superchargers. Water pump spacers create the space needed for these accessories.
