The backing plate could be aluminum instead of steel so there’s less corrosion.

the holes dont line up because there different shapes causing a coolant leak in between the pump and the cam cover

in your opinion, would it be easier to replace the timing cover when replacing the water pump? im asking because i also have a leak i believe is in the water pump but i dont want to do it twice
@jakeb5933 жыл бұрын
I would suggest doing it. Could certainly save you time and headache.

How can I tell if my water pump is leaking cause I misaligned the backing plate bolts on the timing cover or if my timing cover gasket is gone
@jakeb5932 жыл бұрын
Best way would be to get underneath with a bright flashlight and look up under the waterpump

It wasn’t too bad considering the fluid was BLACK, and the thermostat was corroded into the housing. I removed about 2.5-3” of sedement/ sludge from the over flow. I don’t think the coolant has ever been flushed or changed. 🤦🏻♂️ I’m dropping in a new radiator and all new hoses, thermostat and housing. The headset core seemed to have flushed out nice🙄 the only thing that I’m unsure on is how to install/fill this radiator. It is a fluidyne capless / sealed rad. Any ideas?

Yes, the head bolts on the backing plate were too thick and didn't let the pump mount flush against the motor

Actually, your leak wasn’t coming from the water pump. Replacing it was a waste of time. Your leak was coming from the timing chain cover gasket that had failed behind the pump. Very common problem with these fox body mustangs. The repair includes completely removing the timing chain cover after removing the water pump. Involves removing the harmonic balancer as well. Doable, with the right tools. And a suggestion for next time. When you pull the water pump bolts out, make some kind of note as to which hole they came out of. They are all different sizes.
