Spent a lot of time messing with that oil pump. Should have just put it on last. 😂 Great videos.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@devendavidoff thanks! 🍻

[@2121linus]

Dont forget assembly lube on ends of oil pump gears please

[@TheBoffmeister]

The M14 bolt on the oil pump is one of the 4 engine mount bolts so you'll have to take it back off to add the mount when you're ready to install the engine.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@TheBoffmeister we will look for that, thanks!

So explain to us what you are going to do when it comes time to replace the new water pump after 65,000 miles? How are you going to replace the water pump gasket for the new water pump? Are you going to loosen and remove the front console, since you left the old water pump gasket attached to the front console's gasket?

[@HelpMeDIY]

+mike dx cut it to detach it then. Very easy

[@craggyoldman6065]

Good to question if you don't understand but crikey why is there so much implied passive-aggression ?? "Explain to us" - who is "us"- well don't bother to explain to me I already understand what you do not. Sheesh !!

Putting a low temperature thermostat on the engine means you won't get optimum engine operating temperature. The car maker specified the standard one for a reason! You are not protecting it against bore scoring on bank 2. Your maintenance of your coolant and letting the engine warm up gently does that.

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@robinmckenzie951 the Nikkies are going to take care of the bore scoring 😉

[@HelpMeDIY]

+@robinmckenzie951 also I night point out the car maker made a huge engineering mistake with the composition of the piston and bore combination that practically guaranteed bore scoring
