issues...please give me a hand.
When I took my water pump out, i just jumbled the bolts together by accident in my rush before the day was over. I know I have 3 of the bolts. There are 4 that bolt it to the block. Can anyone tell me if one of them is studded? I found in a group of 4, 3 regular bolts, and 1 studded type with a nut around the middle...these were the only bolts that fit the thread size for the water pump. I need to know the location of the studded bolt if someone would be so kind.
Also, the SDPC vortec baseplate has what seems to be a coolant sensor thing drilled into the base, the stock baseplate doesn't. should I just plug it up?
Oh, and wtf, I was tightening a hose today, and the screwdriver slipped. There just happened to be a sensor in the damage path. yea so the screw driver hit the brittle plastic and chipped part of it. I was just going to get a new sensor to go there. it was a cold start timing switch i believe. yea f- that. i ended up JB plasticwelding it back together, because the sensor listed as 84 bucks. the thing is probably 2 inches long...whats with that i mean really.
Progress: the engine being ready is surrounding the FPR. i gotta get the right torx screwdriver for it so i can remove/replace with the new holley one. Then the plenum/TB can go back on.
