The water pump is far easier than either that oil line or the heater core. It looks like an after market pump on there. One of the bolts was very loose. It appears as though gasket cement had been used.
I assume gasket cement is not advised nor needed if the surface is appropriately clean, correct? I will clean the bolts, which I saved in pattern, and torque them to 11 ft lbs, as the manual states, no loctite needed, correct? Would I be smart to replace the thermostat even though it is not a problem?
By the way, I am replacingwith OEM.
Thanks again.
