Abstract
An improved water pump drive arrangement for an internal combustion engine, having an intermediate shaft. The water pump is driven from one of the flexible transmitters of the camshaft drive and is located in such an arrangement so as to function as an idler for the flexible transmitter and also to permit the water pump to be mounted at the end of the engine, although the flexible transmitters are spaced from the engine end.
