Water pump repair 2 questions pic

[Arxvz1200]

Hi,

I took off water pump from xvz1200 -84.

1)This part in the pic no 1 fell out as I was wiggling the pump out. Do you have any idea what is it?

2)Am I correct saying that oil seal has been facing wrong way.  Pic 2 behind the bearing the oil sealing letter side was the engine? It should the facing the other way?

 

Thanks for all the help. I waiting for the parts to arrive. Started this job because there was leak from weep hole.

Cannot tell by pic which way oil seal was facing.

The part in pic one is one of two pieces making up the water pump seal, the wide flange towards the pumps impeller. the second part of the W/P seal sits between the impeller and the flange of this part.

The lip on the oil seal should be facing the engine and away from the water pump. This is to keep oil from leaking out through the weep hole.

Thanks. Like you said the oil seal has been sitting the wrong way. I was surprised it has sealed over five years now, ever since I got this bike.

The other part is still mystery as it fell from engine side while the shaft and impeller was still in place. the mecahinal seal(8) was sittin in its right place.

Thanks again for tour reply.
