Crushed side and lost connector here. |
The power steering pump on my engine is fine, but the pulley is hosed. The problem with that is the pulleys suck to replace. So, you are better off just getting a whole new pump. Looks like this mistake is gonna cost me at least $70 (used P/S pump and epoxy/resin product) and unknown $$ of dollars and time to replace it that I hadn't figured on spending for this conversion.
UPDATE (January 20th, 2014):
Using epoxy worked fantastic. I cleaned it off first, took off the gasket around it, then spread the epoxy throughout. It is hard as a rock now and solid. I even found the broken piece, so the whole timing belt cover is now in tact and functional.
