TE610 Custom water pump housing reverse (normal) flow

[darren7878]

So they made this but instead chose the wrong direction for production?? Was this a 570?

I don't want to sell it until it's tested properly, but I'm happy to have one delivered from PC way to you for just the cost.

DM me your address and I'll see what the total is.

I can also send you one of the FDM ones I can make for like $40 Canadian.

In typical Husqvarna fashion the standard pump configuration stayed the same from roughly 1991-2004 on this model (they did increase the impellor size). I believe Husqvarna sold the inverted flow kit as a special part similar to KTM business model now.

Sounds good regarding the China print

Update; I pressure tested the cooling system to 1.2bar and took it for a ride. On the ride it works perfect; however because the prototype is FDM printed, the layer lines leak and it drips out at random spots.
I've ordered a 3d printed aluminium set from Proto-ti in China for 100USD and I'll report back when I receive it; but so far the system is a complete success in terms of temperatures.
No overflow required.

An AI just told me that 3D printed aluminum may leak because of porosities and that impregnation can solve the problem. At work we have succesfully impregnated cast alumium components that leaked oil from porosities when asssembled.
Are you going to machine the mating surfaces of those 3D printed Al parts to improve the contact with the gaskets? What gaskets will you use?

I'll probably flatten them on a DMT plate, but permatex grey is pretty damn good.

As for porosity I don't believe it will leak liquid, laser sintered material has very tiny layer lines

Special derivery arrived; I like very much. Small amount of distortion corrected in about 5min on the DMT plate. I'll install these this week and see how she goes. I can definitely see myself using this service much more.

I guess that the red ink on the mating surface has been applied to make sure that a big enough part of the surface was contacting the DMT plate. I've seen machinists doing this when they want to remove as little material as possible: you colour a surface with a marker, you machine the surface and when the colour is gone you know that there is no recessed spot that hasn't been machined.

Installed and gave it a good testing over the past couple of days. It really is much better for the temperature. The fan won't come on until about 10 min of idling after the bike is already hot. Checked temps with IR gun and it's pretty even between the radiators.

Decided to re-use part of the old hose system to use the old temp sensor. Harness needs extending about a foot.

I'm very happy with this change, I'm trying to track down the right combo of hoses from AS3 that allow install without radiator modification and without re-using any old hoses so I can get them to put a kit together.
