Well once again, a day at Roy's shop!

Few days ago my truck starts peeing after I shut her off, and was on harmonic balancer, front of oil pan area.

I looked around and hoses looked ok , but was either a water pump gasket or weep, area.


I called Roy, (to rant) he says bring her in ,

I've been planing to change my WP for a couple years now, as I wanted to get the HO pump,

My n/a water pump is the crappier (I think about ) 85gpm, and the HO version is 130gpm....


What was super cool, he had a hummve water pump he put on a bench in front of me and explains, what bolts go in and basically how it works

Can use as a cross reference , (I swear he should have bee a shop teacher)


Lol, some of my finger tips of my were swollen the next day ...hehe

After all was all said and done he did and oil change, sent me off at 4 or 5

Pics of the process below.

This was just when we removed the old water pump what was under there


I think the motor part was more so a pain when cleaning gaskets off,.... And lol at the 2 big water holes, I stupidly though my block was cracked, but they we drain holes, heheh

Lol and I already thought I was doomed, but whew all was good
