Question Water Pump Bolt sizes

[dpantazis]

Anyone know the specs on the water pump bolts?

Which ones are the long ones and which ones are the short ones?

I discovered that I am 'missing' a couple of bolts- don't ask. I did not do it. I spent a few bucks in a small town hardware store tonite for a couple of metric studs, cap nuts, jamb nuts and washers. franken-fixed enough to get home. stimulus money i figure..

IHC? BigJoe? BJS? anyone?

thanks

Did some looking around and really couldn't find anything other than what you are asking. I did find some videos of Bill doing some water pump work. I don't have sound on this computer so I dont know if he says the bolt sizes or not

YouTube - 7.3 WATER PUMP INSTALL 1 OF 8 FORD POWERSTROKE DIESEL

Off the Top ? Can't help ya with the specific lengths & numbers of each Dennis.. but you can tell by the thickness/depth of the journal castings.. on the water-pump. Tighten them down good.. then check & re-tighten after a couple'a warm-up/shut downs, if needed..

Joe

You could back-out, one of each remaining.. to get a size & length ?

No he doesn't say what size bolt. But you can see them in vid 4 and get an idea where they go when he puts them in. Maybe the Ford parts dept. can help out. They do sell new bolts WITH the pump (as showed in the vid)...maybe they sell them seperatly

joe-

somehow i am missing 2 bolts already. one i think never was in there to begin with, no marks on the casting. i am not happy with the mechanic i took it to to change it out. but yes, i thought of pulling one to check the size. for now, i stuck in a couple of long setscrews and washers and jamb nuts to get it snug. i don;t like studs in this application, but they'll work fine until i tenderfoot it home. the leak is minimal now.

i don't care for the youtube boob wrenching. i don't care for googling for info. i will ask those/where i know and trust the info is good. its not worth the time or effort. i can google too...

I hear ya Dennis

I've used All-Threads, cut to length.. then Nuts'n washers to conjur up manya fix.. whilst.. between a Rock'n a Hard spot... on the road.. basically what you've done.

Worked fo me.. Hope you get home with no hassles
