Checked last night and it was valved off, so no water was getting to my impellor. Started tracing hoses to find the shredded fins and found some rubber chunks on the upstream side of the transmission oil cooler. Took a hose and backflushed the cooler. I didn't find anything in the hoses after the tranny cooler, (J hose, tstat, hoses running to exhaust manifold) is it safe to assume that if its small enough to make it through the cooler it is small enough to get flushed out the exhaust?
Will check the oil and see how that looks. It is needing to be changed anyways. Once I get a new impellor and manifold fitting I'll fire it up on a fake a lake and make sure everywhere is getting water.
