Re: Water pump rotation

It rewinds itself!

I would guess that you are asking if a water pump is put onto the wrong setup in error. (I.E. a standard rotation pump on a serepentine belt setup) The water flow through the block is the same on a reverse rotation setup as a standard motor, however the inside of the pump allows for the change in rotation, in it's design of the impeller. If you run a pump backwards the motor should exibit an overheating condition and the water flow will be really low.
