Water pump bolt torque figures
I've just got back from three and a half weeks on vacation at our holiday home in France with a sudden need to get the engine on my truck running fairly quickly, reason being we've finally it seems, sold our house after having it for sale for nearly four years! The buyers want to move pretty quickly as its being bought by a company to turn it into a respite home for kids so I need to get the truck running enough to get it driven out of my back yard and onto a flatbed to move it.
I pulled the waterpump to clean and paint it and the front of the engine before we went away so need to get it back on. Anyone know offhand what torque the waterpump bolts should be tightened to? Its a 350 with a short pump if that helps. Saves me having to dig out the books. One way or another the next house will have a decent sized garage big enough to get it in so I can then really crack on with getting it fixed up. Going to see six houses on Sunday, at least two have triple garages, one complete with inspection pit, sadly the one we really liked the look of (which had a 39' x 22' garage with a 39' x 17' attached storage barn) had been taken off the market the evening before we rang to make an appointment to view it.

Re: Water pump bolt torque figures
use the german torque method, goodintight .Sorry could'nt resist being a smart tail. I always just tighten then down in a criss cross pattern Iwould guess on the torque numbers somewhere 18-22 ft.lbs.

Re: Water pump bolt torque figures
30 foot pounds. You sound use a little sealer on the ones that go into the water jacket.
