Post 351M water pump
Was wondering if the bolts on these motors for the water pumps are prone to breakage. I know some are but cant recall doing one on these motors. The WP looks original with approx 130000 miles. Thanks for any tips Josh

I had no problems when I pulled mine apart, and have heard of no issues with them

Shouldn't be a problem but since it may be original I guess some of the bolts could be corroded & stuck. Might have to use "panther ****" & caution removing them if so.

A couple of the bolts go into the plate behind the water pump and there isn't much thickness for the threads. Not so much of a problem coming out but don't overtighten going back in.
