looking for spare parts for WESTERBEKE L25

[daliozn]

Hi, I'm looking for a fresh water pump (p#21174) for my engine and having trouble finding one that is not 1.160 dollars from Westerbeke. I'm looking for a sea water pump (p#21200) and a chain cover (p#21158) as well.
Also, I would like to know which engine westerbeke based the L25 to see if I can find less expensive repairs...Here's the numbers that I've found on the monoblock:
T12
B
711M6615BA
There is a plate at the Valve cover with the inscriptions:
Model: L25
Serial: B 811 FK13808
Basic Block manufactured in England for J.H.WESTERBEKE CORP. AVON, MASS 02322
If any of you could help me figured out if the numbers means anything would help. Lastly, there is many different parts attached to the monoblock labeled FORD…
Thank you very much and have a nice day,
Dalio

Looks like it's a converted Ford Cortina block by WaterMota

Might want to check that angle along with parts from England

The water pump can be rebuilt. Bearings and seal are standard parts. I rebuild the pumps for my engines. No Westerbeke.

Your best bet for parts is in the UK. I had one of those and I think it was used in British taxi cabs.

It's your lucky day. I just removed my l25 westerbeke and replaced it with a electric 10kw motor. I just rebuild the starter. I have a brand new water pump with less than 10 hours on it. All the injectors have been rebuilt. The fuel pump has been sent out and rebuilt also. I have receipts for everything. Text or call me im in st Augustine fl. 4079205086. Kyle. it's so hard to get parts for this engine. That's one of the main reasons why I decided to give up on it. It's a British engine as you know.

I have collected 3cast off L25s to keep mine (in my Bristol 32) running and to support a couple of friends with parts.
I don’t have any more spare front cover/water pump assemblies, but would appreciate getting information on where to get part number info for water pump bearing and seals so I could rebuild one that needs it.
I have found that these items are not available from Stephenson or Hanson.
I would also like to find replacement pistons for MK 3 and 4 engines.
Is there anyone out there with this experience.
I do have much experience and some spares for other parts of the engine. Feel free to email at nateweeks3@gmail to discuss.
