Notes:
- The water pump seal is pressed into the timing case cover. Use a small prybar or a seal puller to remove it.
- Some water pumps have an O-ring located between the pump and the engine block. If your water pump has an O-ring, make sure to replace it when you install the new pump.
- When tightening the water pump bolts, tighten them in a crisscross pattern and gradually increase the torque until the bolts are snug.
