Water Pump Installation

1. Inspect the water pump.

Note: 

•	Ensure that the engine block surface and water pump surface are clear of old gasket material.

•	Do not immerse the water pump in solvent. The solvent may enter the water pump's permanently lubricated bearings and cause premature bearing failure.

Note: The water pump drive pulley and impeller should turn straight and smoothly. If the drive pulley wobbles, is noisy, or feels rough when rotating, replace the water pump.

2. Rotate the water pump drive pulley.



3. Install a NEW water pump gasket. (2).
4. Install the water pump (1).

Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.
