Here's a question about the divider plate. I realise the inner plate must be as close to the impeller as humanly possible without touching and I will get to that but first, I'm wondering about the divider plate.

I think I read somewhere in this vast posting that someone said that as important as the impeller clearance is, the 'centering' of the divider plate to the center line of the impeller is also important so that half of the water goes into one side of the engine and half to the other which would be accomplished by centering of the divider plate to the impeller.

I just received new stainless plates today and when I set them on my new flowkooler pump, I noticed that the divider plate sits so high (or that the impeller sits so low) that about 90% of the flow would be going to one side bank and about 10% to the other.

So, is it recommended to bend the divider plate to center it to the impeller along with setting the clearance on the impeller to inner plate?
Thank you
