Water Pump roadblock.

[GojiraFJ60]

Good evening guys, I’m back…

I’ll start off with this…
I decided to drive my 60 to work yesterday morning…got spooked by white smoke/steam from under the hood…u-turn, went home and changed vehicles…fast forward to the end of my day, I went and bought new coolant to put in the radiator (that I just changed), and I took a peek at the undercarriage to make sure I didn’t spot a leak…and was met with the water pump weep hole streaming fresh coolant.

I’m on the hunt for a new pump (with oiler cooler and fan clutch) but I haven’t had any luck. I’ve tried Red Line, I’ve tried VTP, City Racer, pretty much the “usual” places…all out of stock.

Does anybody else have any other suggestions? It’d be greatly appreciated.

Cruiser outfitters. I do not think the oil cooler is available, but you can get the rings and washers for it from Toyota, to reseal.

Oil cooler is still available.

Yeah, everywhere I checked, the oil cooler WP is out of stock; even there.

With that being said, is it possible that it’s just the seals and not the actual pump? Quite frankly I’d like for it to be just the seals given the current circumstances of the market and I’m not about to cheap out on a pump either.

Ah wait a sec, this is a new website, nevermind I haven’t seen this one yet…

 

[GojiraFJ60]

Oil cooler is still available.

Will take a look right now.

If I’m looking at it correctly, there an “Order Parts here” embedded link that takes me back to CruiserTeq, where I’ve already been, and it’s OOS. Unless I missed something

The cooler will be expensive, or it was a couple years ago when I decided to refresh mine. ....assuming your talking about an fj60?
Ourisman Richmond is saying $693! Just for the cooler.
15710-61010

 

[Spike Strip]

I don't think he's asking for the oil cooler, specifically. He's asking for the water pump that has the nipple on it.

Correct, OP?

The 16110-61081

Correct.

My bad: you are looking for the 16110-61081-77 oil cooler water pump.

Thats discontinued from Toyota and most other sellers in Aisin form.

You can check out of Japan. Otherwise, Rockauto

 

[Spike Strip]

Rockauto is out of all 81 through 87 water pumps with the nipple. Your best bet is eBay. NPW, Japan.

I think it's a T51

Well be careful it's not counterfeit

Or have your existing water pump rebuilt. That's where we're at.

RockAuto seems to have one from USMW. Only issue with that is I have no way of telling if it’s correct. Unless I call USMW; which is fine.

I don’t even know where to begin looking out of JP. Let alone how long it would take.

I have a fresh shipment of GMB (made in Japan) water pumps with the oil cooler port inbound from Japan, should be here next week. We also have fan clutches, hoses, etc all in stock as well. And we’re just across the state line south of you!
We’ve installed a number of the GMB pumps on customer cars in the shop since Aisin went NLA, with good results.
NPW is another good option as well.

Interesting...whats the status of fj62/3FE water pumps?

I was HOPING you’d see this thread LOL. A friend of mine on Instagram told me about you (I believe I also follow you there too), and I’d much rather deal with someone with a solid reputation that’s literally a stone’s throw away. A turnaround like that would be fantastic.
