[QUOTE="DILLARD000, post: 1051585, member: 74901"] WaterPump for Ford V6~4.0L~SOHC Engine: Personal pref is to soak pump bearing\shaft in PenetratingOil for an hour each side before install; never know how long its been on a shelf drying out or corroding. Old+New Pump pics below; installed CPW brand ~$40 in 2016; no issue since. Never seen metal gasket on this Pump? Dressed the Fibre\Paper Gasket with a smear of HiTemp RTV both sides. Ford#6L2z-8501-a or FelPro#35474 Pump has 12ea FlangeBolts M5*1.0 = 0m005Diam * 0m001Thrd * 0m020Long * 0m008HexHead Dab of Grease\PetroleumJelly\AntiSieze on each prevents seizing, courtesy for next poor bas'ard who has to work on it. Torq to 07pf = 89pi = 10nm While changing WaterPump, consider also renewing 16psiRadCap & ThermoStat & short BypassHose at the top of the Pump + RadiatorHoses + HeaterHoses + Clamps & PlasticFan+FanClutch & SerpBelt+BeltTensioner+IdlerPulley. Of course backflush Radiator & HeaterCore, then fill with fresh 50/50 Coolant, burp + topoff as needed. Personal pref is to BackFlush & renew RadCap+ThermoStat+Coolant every 33kMiles\4yrs; inspect the rest at that time & renew as needed. Highly recommended considering Vegas heat. Hopefully ths helps.
