Water Pump - Gasket Leak

Bulletin 84-6B-3

Date March '84

Ref. No. 84-131-6B
SUBJECT: WATER PUMP GASKET LEAK GOODWRENCH DIESEL ENGINES

MODELS AFFECTED: ALL EQUIPPED WITH DIESEL ENGINES


There are two raised sections on the front cover between the bolts underneath the water inlet holes. The raised sections are put there to put a higher load on the water pump gasket in that area. Should you experience a leak in that area when transferring the water pump to a Goodwrench engine, apply a RTV sealer to each side of the gasket. Do not grind off the raised section.
