Water pump replacement. - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I finally got some time to pull the water pump off and get ready to put the new one on before the Texas weather turns brutally hot. If any of you have to do this I highly highly recommend that you when you receive your new water pump that you take the gasket that comes with it and make a template out of cardboard and place each bolt you take out in it one at a time so you know where they go when you put them back in. Half of them are all different lengths.

Also don?t forget about the one bolt that goes throught the A/C compressor through to the water pump which means removing the alternator which requires moving the plenum out of the way. Which blows booty hole for just one bolt. But it is what it is. Now im just waiting for my blue Samco radiator hose kit to arrive and finish it up.
