Well so my car was makin a lake of coolant late last summer and again in the garage at work. Its been dropin coolant drip drop for some time even before I got the reman water pump (WP)
The reman was a fenco 3.3 unit and looked a little diffrent from the oem version that has lasted 8 years about 150 k klicks
the new wp was placed about 2 years ago in the spring using the included round gasket and the aircraft sealant that I had. It worked great, all except the wp. That after I pulled it out I could spin the shaft with very little pressure. A new wp has a noticible drag when spun, but first the pics of the operation
notice all 5 bolt holes held tight with no leaks.
the new wp a new acdelco 3.3 unit and a nice thingy it is
how do you know your old unit is bad , well in -20c weather you look at the place my blue finger is pointing too and see the worn away paint that dipicts escaping coolant
the new unit even has assembly inspection paint points on it a percission ground ring and I got real waterpump goo this time from permatex.. oooooo
I installed the new one with a 105 inch pounds or good and tight on all 5 bolts coated in anit seize .... haha am i gonna haf to do this again and then
got ready to add coolant and ionized water.. the coolant is prestone new all colour all use fluid mixed with the ioized stuff and now its waiting a few days to be really ready before a full test
oh yah i goota fill the rad and drain any air pockets
well this was fun writing up hope you don't mind
have a trepin day
