Q:Do it yourself steps

This Site Might Help You. RE: 1995 Honda Civic water pump replacement steps? Do it yourself steps

Q:The water pump gasket in my '98 Forester (130k) recently began to leak, and I will be replacing it in the next couple days. I noticed a stream of bubbles in my overflow container, though, and am wondering if it might be bad head gaskets making the air bubbles. The bubbles only appear after the engine is warmed up, like after a drive around town - there aren't any bubbles when the engine is cold.Is it possible that these air bubbles are coming from the leaking water pump? I hope so, because I'd much rather replace the pump than the head gaskets!

Yes it is from the leaky water pump. Because it is leaking it will most prob be sucking air. If it was a head gasket you would notice it when cold as well

Q:My dads needs a new water pump for his '83 Silverado v8, anyone have a DIY or a schematic or know of where I can find one? Maybe someone could tell me how. He's pretty handy with cars just doesn't know what needs to come off and in what order. -Thanks in advance!

ok, this is every little step you could imagine, in detail, with reasons for doing it as said, in the order ive put it down....negligence on my dads part has caused 2 waterpumps to crack in the winter due to lack of antifreeze, because we just put straight water in it, because the radiator is cracked for the same reason as the waterpumps.(but the block luckily hasnt cracked) remove the fan belt, and lower radiator hose, to drain the radiator, and get the belt outta the way. if its a smallblock, you remove the fan shroud, remove the fan and fan clutch, then remove the 3 bolts on the left, and 2 bolts on the right, after youve drained the radiator. once youve removed the 5 bolts, pull it out. wrap a cloth around 1 of the 4 studs on the waterpump, and take a pair of pliers to break it free, repeat untill all 4 are loose. remove the studs, and take the pump with you to autozone so you can get a core charge. scrape the mounting surface clean(dont get anything in the block). install the studs, and have a cloth around any stud your working with when you use the pliers to tighten it down(to avoid damaging the the threads.).apply silicon gasket sealer to both sides of the gasket, and put the gaskets on the block. quickly put the pump back on, and put the top bolts in for support. put the other bolts on, and tighten to about 10ftlbs minimum. slide the fan pulley onto the studs, and put the fan back on. put the nuts back on, and tighten as tight as you can get them, itd be terrible for the fan to go through the radiator. put the fan belt back on, put the lower radiator hose back on, and put the fan shroud back on, in that order. wait an hour for the silicon to dry, and fill the radiator with the motor running, and go for a testdrive

Q:what water pump is on a 1978 mercruiser 170hp 224cc 3.7 liter

Got no partnumbers but.. the 3.7 is a Ford engine and dont know from your question if you mean the circulation pump on the front of the engine or the raw water pump in the outdrive. This engine has a closed cooling system and uses coolant to cool the engine pumped around by the circ. pump on the engines front. The water to cool the heat exchanger (and so the coolant) is pumped up by the outdrive pump. Mostly when the engine runs hot the outdrive impeller is worn out and need to be changed or the raw water system can be cloged up by debris.

Q:Hoping that someone may read this.Broke down yesterday after re-filling coolant when car re-heated and mechanic who rescued us advised that the water pump is leaking and requires replacement.Our local garage have advised that to change the water pump also requires a new camber (?) kit and including both and 3.5 hours labour their total quote is ?315.08.This sounds crazy for changing a water pump - can anyone shed any light and reckon that they may be taking the mickey?Am not technical so wouldn't attempt to do work myself, however if we go back to garage, or to others, I'd like to know exactly what work needs doing.Thanks!

Make sure that they are using ONLY genuine Ford parts and Ford genuine coolant. Anything else is a BIG rip-off. Ford has an exchange program for the pump. THe belt MUST be new, and the coolant from ford will protect for 100,000 miles since it was DESIGNED for YOUR PARTICULAR CAR!!! Don't believe in universal coolants! That is a LIE!!! I have seen many holes in cylinder heads from bad advice and bad coolant. Don't kid yourself. It is pretty much normal to replace the cambelt with the pump, since the pump is part of the tensioning mechanism for the belt. Good LucK!!

Q:I had high-pitch noise coming from my engine; it was coming from the belt area. I change the belts but the noise is still happening. After doing some research, I noticed that the noise is coming from the Water pump bearings. I installed this water pump Last year and the warranty is expired on it. A friend told me that if a bearing goes bad on a Water pump, then I should flush the cooling system because it leaves metal shavings into the engine. Is this true? I already flushed my cooling system at the mechanic (he has a special machine) about 2 weeks ago. Is it necessary to do another flush because of bad Water Pump bearings?

in the first place find out why the pump went out so fast, it might be the belt is too tight or you got hold of a cheap pump.

Q:quot;A tank has the shape of an inverted circular cone (point at the bottom) with height 10 feet and radius 4 feet. The tank is full of water. We pump out water (to a pipe at the top of the tank) until the water level is 5 feet from the bottom. The work W required to do this is given byquot;I know how to find it if it's a right circular cylinder, but how do I adjust for the changing area? Also would a and b = 0 and 5? Thanks ahead of time!

calculate the amount of water U start with by computing volume of cone: V = 1/3πr?h {r = 4', h = 10'} V = 0.333π(4)?(10) = 167.55 ft? calculate the amount of water remaining in cone after pumping is done: V = 0.333π(2)?(5) = 20.944 ft? calculate the volume of water pumped: 167.55 - 20.944 = 146.6 ft? 1 ft? of water weighs 62.4 lb, calculate weight of water removed: 146.6(62.4) = 9148 lbs The Center of Mass of the water in the cone (when h = 10') is at 1/4 of 10 ft = 2.5 ft high The Center of Mass of the water in the cone (when h = 5') is at 1/4 of 5 ft = 1.25 ft height The Center of C.of M. change = 1.25 + (2.5 - 1.25)/2 = 1.25+0.625 = 1.875 ft If we consider that the Center of Mass of the water removed was at 1.875 ft, All the water removed was then lifted an average of 10 - 1.875 = 8.125 ft Work done = W = (9148)(8.125) = 74,300 ft-lbs ANS

Q:Submersible pump and self-priming pump which is easy to use?

Pump generally installed at less than 7 meters from the water surface, if not meet this requirement, have to use submersible pumps, such as deep wells. Submersible pump is obviously not good, easy to malfunction, have to use.Self-priming pump is mainly convenient, but the performance is lower than the general centrifugal pump.There are both advantages and disadvantages at the same time, which is not easy to use.The key is where to use and how many parameters............

Q:Im half way through replacing my water pump and im stuck...the power steering pump pully blocks access to the final bolt that needs to be removed so the water pump can be removed so i can replace the water pump... any hints on how to get to the bolt so i dont disassemble something i dont need to?

agree with michael except you may have to pull p/s any way to install water pump without messing up gasket and reinstalling bolt.

Q:Hey for the past month my car has been leaking coolant, making a wierd noise when i drive it, and saying low coolant when its filled to the top.my husband took it out to get gas this morning and it stopped on him and had to be towed to the mechanicthe mechanic said its the water pump and somethin about anti freeze and this cost almost 300 bucks with parts and laborim just wanting to know if a water pump does indeed cause issues like this before we dish out this kinda money!!! btw its a 96 chevy luminathanks

The water pump pumps cooled water around the engine, so yes if it has an issue like leaking then there is a very high chance that the engine will overheat. Anti-freeze is only really required in the winter when temperatures get low enough to freeze the water in the system and therefore will not be able to be pumped around the engine, as it's now summer there is no danger not using anti-freeze but is advisable to get some added before the cold weather comes.
