Figure 1 - Prepping The Block
Disconnect battery; remove all existing accessory drive brackets and
components from motor.
Remove water pump, scrape away any existing gasket material with a
gasket scraper and dress surface with a Scotch Brite® pad.
Clean and prep threads on engine block at water pump and driver side
bosses by crank (for power steering kits), use a 3/8-16 thread chaser if
necessary. Thread chasers are available at your local auto parts store or tool
dealer and are different from a thread cutting tool.
Apply RTV sealer to one end of the three 3/8-16 x 3” threaded studs and
thread two studs into the driver side water pump mount holes and one stud
into the upper passenger side mount hole and tighten.
Apply RTV sealer to one end of the remaining 3/8-16 x 4” stud and thread
into the bottom passenger side mount hole and tighten. The studs can eas-
ily be tightened by threading two 3/8-16 zinc coated nuts onto the stud and
tighten them against each other to act as a drive nut.*
