Hi yall
Im over here trying to find parts to rebuild my water pump on my m10. Basically doing a price comparison to see if just buying a new pump or rebuild is more economical. New pump as seen on Braman Motors web site is $255 us plus shipping. I Haven't yet found a rebuild kit for the M10 I have seen for the M20. On RimmerBros for $15.30. But as Jimmy tells us "all that glitters is not gold"
Im in the process of cross-referencing part numbers between the two engines. I see that the bearings are interchangeable and Im assuming that the seals will be compatible as well since the bearing passes through them. The issue I see is that the impeller doesnt seem to be compatible. As well I cant find a part number for the housing and the pump as a whole is not compatible m10 to m20.
Does anyone know the difference between the two impellers m20 #11511280827, M10 #11511268824 & #11510686110
My concern is that the impeller is thicker and potential has more fins and that the housing is deeper to accommodate. I imagine that the m20 will need to move more water as it is a lager engine. Happy motoring and wrenching

Re: Water pump rebuild m10 vs m20
Yup, don't think many parts are interchangeable. I'd consider ordering a water pump from Germany based Autodoc, examples:

(I used a QH water pump on my E30 race car and it lasted for 5 seasons, then I sold the car)
slightly more renowned:
