To Lee and all, The person who e-mailed me the ad also sent me pictures of the engine/trans - I barely looked at them. However, after reading Lee's post, I went back and peeked more carefully. Sure enough - water pump sits a lot higher than on any RB motor I've ever seen ! Thanks Lee. Good to learn something new... I was not aware that motorhome 413's were so different . Interesting to note that the trans. has a parking brake assembly on it not unlike our 300's ... wonder what that is all about... I had not noticed that either...
