Ken G's Journal

This morning I was starting to research which water pump I need to get for my eventual replacement, Maybe just a new gasket but probably replace the pump since I'm in there doing the work.
So after reviewing the Moss site I see there are two versions of water pump, so I went out to the car to determine which one I have. Low and behold I found that the top bolt was missing on the pump. That is strange, so I looked at the photos from when I pulled the engine from the car the bolt was out before I pulled the engine. Compounding the issue when I painted the engine I didn't notice that the bolt was gone and I just painted over the empty hole.

Ok so this is now raised a bit higher on the priority of items I need to complete. Lesson learned, again something I should have done as preventive maintenance when the engine was out instead of putting it off till later.
