Installed new CAT, upper muffler bracket. Reinstalled muffler. Changed sparkplugs, distributor cap and plug wires. Re-installed coolant lines across the valley and the water pump. Refilled and re-pressure tested the system...Water pump was leaking at the bottom. Re-uninstalled the water pump and pipes over the valley. Valley re-filled with coolant. I re-cleaned the valley. Disassembled water pump. Gasket rotten, bottom back bolt rusted and seized. Removed back and thermostat. Looks like I'm replacing the water pump too. Also removed inlets on the block on either side of the pump to replace the gaskets there as well.
Only 15 lbs torque on the spark plugs??? Really? Is that right? I used a slight amount of anti-seize on each plug as recommended. Should I torque more?
