the water pump is in the middle of the timing cover the crank pulley and timing cover has to come off
You may have to take all of the pulleys off and then take the thermostat off and then take the timing cover off.
this is an involved operation, i suggest you purchase haynes repair manual # 72030. you must remove all front engine components to get them off.
the water pump is usually operated by the cam so have a look around the cam sprocket. you'll have to take the timing cover off.
take off all accessories such as alt, power steering then motor mounts on pass side and underneath. take off valve cover there are 2 or 4 bolts in pass side of head drop oil pan take off oil pump pickup tube then timing cover. be sure before u start #1 cyl is at tdc on compression stroke. and thatshould be it.
if the timing plate was taken off then just take off the timing cover and there will be notches on the timing gears so u can time it from there
im guessing that you are asking how do you change the timing belt cover? you have to take off the valve cover and then there are a few bolts holding on the cover.
Take the top timing cover off and look at it.
Take off the timing belt cover and you can see it, one upper and one lower
First you take out all your spark plug wires, you dont have to remove y our spark plugs. Then you take the valve cover off and set your timing to TDC (top dead center) then you take the timing chain and gears out and the cam(s) out and unbolt the head.
yes you do i had to take mine off when i replaced my water pump
Rocker cover off. Timing belt cover off. Exhaust manifold off. Mark timing belt and gears if no marks on both already. Timing belt off. Head bolts out. Remove head. Change gasket. Re-fit all bits. Match up the marks on the timing belt with the marks on the gears for the timing to be correct. Torque the head bolts to... 1) 100Nm 2) 90 degrees 3) 90 degrees Refit rocker cover. Job done. Same engine as in the LDV Cub and Nissan Vanette.
