Second that. Seems like too much effort, but will give you all the room you need. Caveat: haven't done a water pump on a OM60x, but I have on a OM617. Tried to get by leaving the radiator in place, ended up removing it. On March 9, 2014 3:05:27 PM EDT, clay redgh...@comcast.net wrote: You

Thanks - it's probably not a big deal to pull the radiator and once that's out the alt and WP should be easy.. What about gasket sealant? I suspect it's never been apart I don't think the factory used sealant... Also, about how much new coolant should I have on hand? 1 gal? 2 G? Thanks

Regarding the gasket, follow the factory service manual. Usually they don't require sealant. 1 gallon of coolant is sufficient, make up the rest with tap water. -- Max Dillon Charleston, SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives

I always use a sealant on old engines, figuring that there's a chance that the front case is warped a bit. It only hurts when you go to replace the pump again - hopefully that will be someone else's problem by then . . . On Sun, Mar 9, 2014 at 3:48 PM, Max Dillon meadedil...@bellsouth.netwrote:

For my application, another factor at the ranch, which is rather remote, is fuel usage of a tank type to keep a tank of water hot full time [often no one is there] My family's beach cabin gets its water heater turned off when no one's there. In winter, the water lines are drained too.
