My oil/water pump unit seems fairly quiet, but using a screwdriver to " listen in" then there is a fairly high pitched scream going on, presumably from the bearings.If I stand next to bike I can hear nothing except the normal "K" sounds. There is no vibration from the unit.
I have no leaks, but can assume at some point I need to overhaul the unit .
Do these units suffer from sudden implosion, or can I expect it to carry on long enough for a winter rebuild.
Also motorworks do an exchange unit., do these just bolt on or does the problem of sealing the unit still have to be dealt with.
Thanks for any replies
