In pulling out my impeller on an SMX pump for a Cummins 6BTA I noticed this rainbow film attached to the back of the impeller. It turned out to be a small piece of metal lodged in it. Reaching in to the pump I pulled out some other remains of a washer or snap ring? I also grabbed the spring and washer, the washer being noticeably rusty. The pump is in a place where i can not see, so I need to shove a camera somewhat close and take pictures.
I am hoping someone can give some insight to the metal pieces and if it’s the start of something catastrophic. Where this pump is requires an engine mount to be moved, a magic wand, and a ton of patience.
