Water Pump Installation Tips

• Clean out any built up sediment and scale from the impeller cavity in the engine block.
• Do NOT force the pump on by striking the end of the shaft.
• Tighten mounting bolts gradually and evenly in a staggered sequence to the vehicle manufacturer's torque specifications.
• It is important to check the condition of the current fan clutch, fan, and fan belt tensioner. If any of these items appear to be worn, damaged, or imbalanced, replace them.
• Turn pump shaft to make sure it rotates freely before reinstalling pulleys, fans, clutches, belts, and hoses.
• Fill the radiator and coolant recovery bottle with a correct mixture of coolant and water and check for leaks. Be sure you measure the amount of coolant mixture that you added so you can track if there is any air in the system. Purge system of air as required.
• Note that a small, temporary seepage of coolant from the weep hole may occur during the initial run-in period. This should stop after the seal has been allowed to "lap in".
• After operating temperature has been reached, shut off engine and allow it to cool - Never remove the radiator cap while engine is hot. Adding cold coolant to a hot system may damage the seal.
• ALWAYS refer to your manufacturers repair manual for the exact procedures and specifications when replacing a water pump.
