[/quotet. if it was me, i'd replace the gasket. some people wouldn't and get away with it. why leave it to chance though? just something else to go wrong.

fastbanshee8 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 Since you're replacing the impellar, you might as well go ahead, and replace the impellar bearing, and seal, while you have it down that far. If you don't, and they fail, you will end up replacing both gaskets, the seal, the bearing, and probably the impellar, and maybe a few other things.

fastbanshee8 Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 My engine seal kit didn't have the impellar seal in it, so I had to order the bearing, and seal seperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaosBanshee44 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 I've seen a few topics about the water pump seal and barring. I just replaced all mine just to be safe. But you have to remember when you put your coolant back in that you don't make any air pockets in the line or it won't cool right. I'm having that problem right now. I would definitly listen to someone that has learned from a mistake that just saying it...lol There is a bolt behind the exhaust that you have to unscrew and it gets all the air pockets out the line. Here is a pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastbanshee8 Posted June 19, 2007 Report Share Posted June 19, 2007 The bolt in the cylinder walls, is to drain the coolant. To get the air out of the system, I just fill it up, and let it idle for a little while, with the radiator cap off, and that seems to do the trick. Don't fill the radiator all the way up with coolant, or some of it will come out, when the air pockets come to the surface. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
