I bought the March underdrive pully kit with the alternator pully.

I HAVE NO AC

will i have to buy a new belt? if so, does anyone know what size?
part number?

I bought the Mizerie electric water pump.
Does anyone have part numbers on gaskets for the waterpump install?
i need the gaskets that meet the engine block, and the one for the water pump cover.


Thanks for your help.

RickS

The weather got nice and i decided to install em,
Electric waterpump, 160*thermo,tbc bypass,and
march underdrive pully and overdrive alternator:

as for the belt i went to the store lots of time to get a right size belt here is what i found,
Gates Micro-V
k060578 6pk1468
21mm x 1485mm

its a 57inch belt, i had a hard time finding a store that carried it, it seems like an unpopular size...

if anyone has any questions, just pm me and ill try to help u.

also http://www.projecttransam.com/projects9.asp was another helpful link

its leaking from somewhere, damnit. i hope its not the wp to block gaskets, thoes were a pain in the *** to clean,


does anyoe have any techniques for removing the old stuck on gaskets? i was using a razor, but it was hard to get 100% of the old gaskets

Spinner

A scotch brite wheel on a rotary tool (air tool or dremel) will scrape all the old gasket off and leave you a nice clean surface

RickS

ok i found the sorce of the problem, its the damn brass plug that goes into the hole where the old drive shaft thing went...
that would explain y it only leaked when the engine was warmed up, metal expanding and such,

got the pump all off now, What can i do to seal this sob?
should i RTV gasket maker thehell out of the plug?

Spinner

Looks like you may have put it in upside down. It only works correctly put in from one direction

joeSS97

Yes,use RTV.A little goes a long way.

RickS

its on this same way http://www.projecttransam.com/waterpump/mz_wpinst2.jpg
still on backwards?

im having trouble getting the motor off the housing, the rtv is some good sheit, but i cant get it off now... ill keep trying

Spinner

Okay, thats right. Was hard to tell from your pic. Doesnt make sense that it only leaks when hot though, because brass expands much more then Al or Iron or steel when subjected to heat.

RickS

the motor wont come off the housing, i hate things like this, they hold me up and waste time.

its almost welded on that thing, anyone have an idea to get the motor off the housing??

im screwed

edit,
ahh i worked it free with a razor blade, all set

RickS

some good news and allot of bad news:
goodnews: I installed the pump and bolted everyting back on the car, including the k&N and the bottom plastic pannel.

bad news somehow the right side gasket, shifted to the left pivoting on the top bolt and when i put the bottom bolt in i didnt see it. the whole thing was done and i put antifreeze in it and it started leaking like a bitch, there goes the secone set of gaskets,

here goes the 3rd time taking the pump out, edit
this is the dumbest thing i ever did on anycar i owned

Compstall

Hehe, you learn a lot doing things the wrong way huh? I have...

I put in a CSI pump last week for the second time. The first pump I got leaked between the motor and the aluminum flange. CSI sent me a new one for free.

I filled up the hole behind the freeze plug in the back of the pump with orange RTV for good measure. No problems...
