water pump bolts
Help! I did a really stupid thing. Yanked out the 351W from my 92 F-150 XLT, SC, 4x4, thought I took plenty of pictures and made plenty of notes. Got the engine back from the machine shop. Looks great!!
But.....I forgot to note the placement of the water pump/timing chain cover bolts. And as you know, there are about 6 different types of bolts in this assembly (some long, some short, some regular hex bolt heads, some hex with studs, etc.). Also, I broke one and lost another some how.
Two questions...
1. Does anyone had a good picture or exploded view of the water pump/timing cover assembly with the bolts?
2. Can I buy a good replacement bolt kit or individual bolts that are exact matches for OEM bolts, studs, etc.? I need them like yesterday!
Thanks,
Jim

water Pump Bolts
Make Sure you use plenty of anti-seize on these bolts. Sometimes you have to remove the timing chain cover just to replace the water pump because the bolts will seize in the water pump & will break when you try to remove them. Now you will have to twist around on the water pump until you break them off in the block and drill them out.

I recently changed mine as well. The "fat flat topped" ones go on the left side when you are looking at the front of the engine. You should be able to tell which go where by inserting them and judging how much thread engagement you will have when tightening them in.
