hey guys .

does anybody know how many o-rings in total is required for the waterpump . i know 1 o-ring is supposed to go on the block .. but today i was looking at the back of my old water pump and there 1 there too 8| .. so now im stuffed i only bought 1.

could the o-ring just spilt due to old age ?? what makes it worst is the manual show 2 O-rings in the blown out diagram but only says to replace a o-ring on the the block before installing the new pump.


help.

I just use 1

But i also put a little silicone on it (not a lot) because a lot of the time the block face is pitted and so is the water pump housing.

depends on the pump. what motor form what model?

if its a ae86 4age there should be 3. 1 for motor to block and 2 for the bypass pipe.

the genuine kit for the pump comes with 3 and the gasket for the top hose outlet.
