Coolant Leak Water Pump Replacement
I installed the aftermarket (NAPA) replacement water pump today. I made a mistake an purchased a cheap torque wrench, really upset when it did not work. Installing the unit was easy, you have to torque the bolts to 7 foot pounds, but since my torque wrench was no good, I just decided to tighten them gut und tight, no too tight. The serpintine belt was easy to install and I filled and bleed the cooling system.
The cars all put together, washed and waxed.
Tomorrow morning I test drive it from S.F. to San Jose, hope everything is good!
On other thing, after I bolted down the water pump, i spun it and it had a slight intermittent rub, I think it was the impeller to the gasket, it was very, very slight so I decided to go ahead with it.
Everyone's advice was great and really appriciate this forum!
