Construction





GENERAL INFORMATION
The water has a diecast aluminum body and housing with a stamped steel impeller. The water pump bolts directly to the block. Cylinder block to water pump sealing is provided by a rubber O-ring. The water pump is driven by the timing belt. The water pump is the heart of the cooling system, pumping the coolant through the engine block, cylinder head, heater core, and radiator.

NOTE: The water pump on all models can be replaced without discharging the air conditioning system.

WATER PUMP INLET TUBE
The inlet tube connects the water pump to the radiator and heater core. This tube is sealed by a o-ring and held in place by fasteners to the block.
