Re: 1934 Eight water pump

Your "water jacket" on your style of engine is more commonly called the side plate and is the long metal plate, the full length of the engine, on the driver's side just below the head (see photo). Attached to it (if your car is stock) is the heat exchanger or oil cooler. The water jacket plate encloses the water passages within the block, it's often a significant chore to remove, commonly resulting in some of the small bolts breaking off in the block. And the plate on the 1934 is also a unique one, one year only, as it's the only year that the oil cooler was attached to it. Removing it is almost necessary if the cooling passages of the block need thorough cleaning, though you might try chemical agents first and hopefully avoid having to remove it, assuming that's the cause of your problems.
