Hey gang. Just a quick question for you, and believe me, I try to find the answers before asking on here. And yes, I need to get a repair manual.

What is the specified torque for the water pump bolts, as well as the top inlet tube?

Thanks so much!

James

If you are on Facebook, checkout this post.  I made some studs to temporary hold the pump and gasket during the load process.   Remove each stud and replace w/the proper bolt and the gasket does not fall out of place.  Top Tip.
