Powerflush through pump head.

[Deleted member 32524]

Hello,

Doing a powerflush and I have bought the pump head adaptor for my Kamco machine.

Question is. Has anyone has any problems using this method i.e pumphead not sealing properly once you put it back on, etc?

Nope. Best way of doing it IMHO. A little LSX or similar if you have problems.

Never had a problem when replacing pump head, but beware that the O-ring they provide (the big, outer ring) will not seal the adapter when flushing EcoTECs. Kamco will tell you that you need to buy an additional 7mm thick O-ring, but you can take the flat one off the pump head and use it combined with the Kamco one and it works...

Dont forget that if fixing adaptor to plastic pump housing dont overtighten the middle of the adaptor as it'll go through the housing leaving you in the poo.
Someone I know did it!!

Thanks guys. Helpful info. I was just a little worried as I have never done it through pump head and could just see it turning in to a nightmare.

Thanks again.
