Hello All. I have searched and read all the posts regarding RW pump impeller issues. I just bought an 03 SAN and the impeller is missing all the blades but 3. I found 1 in the vee drive cooler, vaccumed one out of the thermostat housing and a few pieces here and there. I have the exhaust elbows off, nothing there, fittings out of exhaust manifolds, blew and sucked, nothing there. Have all hoses off, no luck. Any ideas on how to get any impeller blades that may be in the engine out short of disassembly? Thanks for any help. CB

RE: Finding loose impeller blades?
The small ones will blow through the motor. Just put it back together and run it. Watch for steam out of the exhaust, and touch the exhaust manifolds after a run. The manifolds should be very warm to the touch but not too hot to touch (immediately after a run, they get hotter after you stop).
