| 1 - ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT |
| 2 - WATER PUMP PULLEY |
| 3 - WATER PUMP |
The water pump (3) on the GAS ENGINE is attached to the water pump adapter on the front of the cylinder block.
The water pump is driven by the accessory drive belt. The water pump is connected to the water plenum by the return tube.
Turbocharger equipped engines use a smaller diameter water pump pulley then the naturally asperated engine. This allows increased coolant flow without pump cavitation.
