Default Water Pump Install

I am going to change the water pump on my 94 next weekend. Does anyone have any tips or shortcuts? Should I use the 180* thermostat or change to the 160*?

Thanks

Cover your Opti spark, or else you will probably be kicking out some major bucks for that also......

Here is a thread on a Thermostat question that I had earlier today.... Hope it helps....

I changed mine out a couple of weeks ago. Tedious job, but not difficult. If you drain the radiator and pop out the knock sensors, there's very little anti-freeze left in the system to drench the Opti-Park.

Hardest part for me was standing on my head to clean off the old gasket that was cemented to the block. :cuss

Drop me a line if you have any problems. :cheers:
