How about this stuff? Spray and go.

All I want to do is pass the tech inspection so I can go to open track day at Waterford Hills Racetrack in Michigan.

Angry Water Pump Issue

I took the covers off last night.





Then I was removing the water pump as per the instructions and.....



Does anyone have any ideas on how to get this water pump out? I can turn it but it won't slide out.

tab on the bottom break off too?

IIRC once you take all four or six bolts out of the waterpump, there are two holes not being used, you can thread two of the screws in to them and it will back the waterpump out of the block. See if that hole is still on the pump on the side that has not broken off.

Yeah both of them busted when I was trying to do it. I've done a bit of research on M42 and it's a common problem. I'll get it out tonight with a puller of some sort and lots of ky jelly.

just yank it back & forth or try to pry it off with something.. remember, the only thing holding it in righ now is basically the fat rubber O-ring. You wont break anything in the motor... so as I said, use force, but if you are using an implement of some kind, try & make sure they are either plastic of wood - you do NOT want to gauge the head in any way shape or form!! good luck...

p.s. the pump is toast - hope you have a new one...

You know, I have all of the special tools. I'd let you borrow them if you pay shipping and promise to send them back.
I have never shipped anything to Canada, so I'm not sure how that works with customs, etc.
Also, "Right Stuff" is not an oil additive. You apply it as you would the blue stuff. Only this is high temp and can be put into service right away.
You need to put this on the ends of your profile gasket for it to seal correctly.
Looks like you are manking good progress.
When is your tech inspection?

I went out and bought a puller that looks like it might work. I'm going to put a couple of pieces of wood against the rear timing chain cover and push against those so that way I won't scratch or break the fragile aluminum. Once the water pump is out I'm returning the puller.

The new water pump should be in by 2 pm along with the new motor mount I had to get. I'm fairly optimistic right now sitting at work.

"Right Stuff" I got some of that as well. Thanks for the tip.

Tech inspection is supposed to be this Saturday. If I don't get it done I'll have to see if I can do it later. There's a Driver's Ed day for the Porsche club at Waterford Hills on May 14 that I want to attend. I have a few friends with Porsches so it'd be fun to go hang out and do some learning with them.

Don't pry against the engine, use a pair of channel lock pliers to grab the water pump. Twist it side to side to break the o-ring loose. Do this while also pulling forward on the waterpump and it will eventually work it's way out of the engine. Be careful once it lets go, as to not let it fly into the radiator.

Water pump is out. I'm glad it's being changed since it had the plastic impeller and the new one is metal. Hopefully I won't have to do it again.

So last night I got the lower rear timing cover off and cleaned up all the gasket surfaces. I got the rear cover, timing chain, oil pan all back on. The front suspension is all bolted back up. Almost there, a few more hours and I should be up and running.

While I had everything apart I deleted all the A/C components in the engine bay. It wasn't charged up anyway.

Default It's all done.

I took the afternoon off of work yesterday to finish the car. It's all working with no more oil leaks. I didn't take anymore pictures of it, sorry. I was too busy working and my hands were too dirty to be using my wife's Canon.

Cheers!

I've been driving the car for the last couple of weeks and the engine has been making a whining noise every time I accelerate. I figured it was the timing chain rubbing against something. So... I pulled the valve cover, and front timing chain covers off again. One of the guides lost all it's lining and the timing chain was rubbing against the metal.

Lesson here is double check everything. I ordered the new guide, checked all the other ones. Ordered new tensioner, thermostat, new gaskets again. Should have it going by the weekend.

I didn't get to take it to the track yet because I knew something was wrong and didn't want to risk it.

It never ends...................broke my wallet!
