We recommend that a light coat of sealer be applied to the water pump and the backing plate. Paint both sided of the paper gasket (shown in Blue) with Permatex®, hang it up, and let it get “tacky”. You should be able to run your fingers over the area and feel nothing but a smooth surface.ġ0. The block is cast iron-you won’t hurt it. The orginal gasket must be completely removed! We use a scraper with a “sharp” edge. With the pump removed it is now time to clean off the original pump to block gasket. They will be tight, we recommend that you use a long handle box end wrench-tap it with a hammer to break them loose.ĩ. They should be torques down to 50 foot pounds of torque. There are three mounting bolts that hold the pump onto the engine block-they require a 9/16” wrench to remove. When we do this in our shop we always have two people available-one on each side of the machine to guide the assembly out without damaging the radiator.Ĩ. TIP: If you are careful you can remove the pump without removing the fan blade-a very awkward painful procedure-be careful of your knuckles. Remove the alternator adjusting arm and fan belt-replace any item if you question their condition. You will be working in tight quarters-don’t make it any harder than you have to.ħ. You do this for two reasons first to inspect the hoses and second to get them out of the way. After the fluid is completely drained, remove the upper, lower, and by-pass hoses. If the fluid is clean-no oil or debris, it can be reused.Ħ. You may or may not be able to open the radiator pet-cock valve. Loosen the lower hose clamp and let the coolant drain. We recommend that the unit be raised up and a large bucket (five gallons) be placed under the right side (facing the radiator) of the radiator. There is no clean way to accomplish this with the SA-200. (You do not have to remove the radiator or fan to change the pump)ĥ. Use “Teflon” tape or a Teflon based thread sealer to coat the treads. Snug the mounting bolts (10-15 pounds of torque is all you need).Ĥ.
