I just changed the water pump on my 91 metro and I went to put it back together when I was screwing in the bolt that has the square cylinder looking bolt that screws down the piece that has the spring on it but my problem is there's a wire looking thing it actually looks like a paper clip that was unravelled. But where does that paper clip looking thingy go. Thanks so much everyone |

Turbo3 Tweak

this is the clearest pic i could find in short order. it's a double spring. both loops go through the hole in the adjuster cam lever. both other ends go onto the extended bolt on the oil pump as shown. |

Turbo3 Tweak
|
nerys, if that question about the aluminum water pump is for me, that's an oem aisin replacement, unpainted (as it's a service part) and bolted on "out of the box." i don't paint oil pumps, either. it's easier to see leaks from both pumps if you don't pretty them up. also, the oil pump is a different story. i only use hard to find high volume oil pumps on my turbo3 builds because the oil pump has the additional load of supplying oil for the turbo. given the option, i hand select the pumps as well. |
