Water pump question

dghii · #1 (**permalink**) 01-29-2007, 10:33 AM

Looks like I'm in for a water pump R/R on my '84 spider. I've looked through the BB and found lots of usefull information on the procedure and pitfalls.

Couple of questions though..Does anyone know what the torque spec is for the water pump pully, bolts and nuts? Is thread lock needed for the nuts?

Thanks,
Don

By "water pump pulley", do you mean the crank shaft pulley-which is normally req'd to be removed when installing? Water pumps don't have a pulley which needs to be torqued, since it comes with the pump already on (at least, on my 87 spider. )

Thanks for the reply.

I wasn't sure if I had to reuse my pully or if it came with the pump. What about torque specs for mounting the pump to the block?

" Nuts, water pump to front cover 10.3 to 16.2 ft-lbs"
