No second plate with the 11 bolt.

Over heating thread on here recently where a member forgot or didn't know to install the tubes in the timing cover before the plate went on. Seems like it ran hot at speed but not in town.

Thanks, but I'm not sure what you mean by "install the tubes" and I didn't do the installation, but I sure am going to do the work that needs doing now, although I believe the mechanic is going to help.
So if you can elaborate on this I'd appreciate it!
I spoke with both CVF and Cold Case tech support today and the biggest takeaway from both is the CVF Wraptor supplied water pump impeller vanes are the cast variety (better than stamped steel) and they both think the gap between the vanes and divider plate is too big.
IMPORTANT! Cold Case tech support suggested testing the pressure of the running cooling system, and if the pressure drops as RPMs increase, that would indicate a problem with the water pump impeller function, like cavitation or some other issue with inefficiency.

The metal tubes that hold the o-ring type rubber gasket that the divider plate seals up against.

Ring any bells?

avman,

Here's a pick and a link to timing covers and parts.

Thanks Clay! I forwarded the picture to the installer and he confirmed that he put them in.

No, because I didn't do the installation.
