I am looking for the torque specs and the tightening sequence for the water pump and pulleys. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

If you look below, I attached the installation procedures. The torque specifications are different based on the bolt size (three different ones).

Additionally, it should be torqued in a specific pattern. That is included as well.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe

Hi,

You are very welcome. I remember a water pump took 45 minutes to an hour to replace. This is certainly not one like that.

If you run into trouble or have questions, let me know. Also, once everything is back together, slowly turn the engine by hand before trying to start it. Make three or four rotations to make sure nothing is making internal contact. If the timing is far enough off, it will cause internal damage.

Let me know.
