Need to replace water pump...what else?
While I'm in there what else should I replace??
Any good sites for parts? |
Why are you changing the water pump? You have to undo the timing belt so might as well do a timing belt change if you haven't done it recently. And you might as well change all the front seals too while you're at it. And you're changing the thermostat too I guess?
This site (Pelican Parts) is pretty good for parts... just click the "New Parts Catalog" up top :) |
Mike,
Pelican? Begin with the waterpump , new or quality rebuilt, none of the cheap ebay China crap. FOES-Front Of Engine Seals --- Pelican sells a kit. New belt rollers and belts. Clean the cooling system and radiator-do not use a full bottle of HD Prestone flush or similiar. Use half strength. Test for coolant leaks before you remove the WP with a pressure tester to find pinhole leaks. 10 pounds pressure max. New heater control valve and hoses New thermostat and fan relay. Antifreeze. Anything you break along the way... J_AZ |

You may also need to replace the block threads. Block off plate "O" ring If the WP comes with the "Green" seal ----no sealant is required. It is on the gasket already. If the WP comes with the black seal-- use a sealant like Permatex Hylomar or ... http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1374672294.jpg J_AZ |
