  1. Remove the old gasket from the water pump sealing surfaces. Refer to Replacing Engine Gaskets .
  2. Clean all excess dirt and debris from the water pump housing.
  3. Inspect the water pump for the following conditions:
    • Gasket and hose sealing surfaces for excessive scratches or gouging
    • Restrictions within the internal coolant passages
    • Excessive side-to-side play in the pulley shaft
    • Leakage at the water inlet housing or rear cover
    • Leakage at the water pump vent hole

      A stain around the vent hole is acceptable. If leakage, dripping, occurs with the engine running and the cooling system pressurized, replace the water pump.

    • Wear or damage in the belt tracking area of the pulley
