How do I change the oil pan gasket on a 1999 Dodge Intrepid with 3.5 engine, what is the proper torque for the bolts.
the water pump is driven by the timing belt.
inside the front of the engine, driven by the timing belt
If you have a 3.5 liter motor, take it to an independent shop, I would not recommend it for d-i-y ers.
From what I understand, it's not easy. It requires pulling the engine on the 2.7 liter model. Georgia "Book" labor is 7.8 hours for exchanging a water pump on this car for this reason.
behind the timing cover you should change the timing belt when you change water pump.
how do i change a water pump in a 1991 dodge shadow with a 2.2 liter does it require an internal water pump
GM does not have a 5.4 liter it's most likely the 5.3 liter.
Most 97 3.5 Liter engines are three bolts (10MM) I believe. I have heard some late model 97 3.5 Liter engines had a four bolt water pump. You would need to remove the front timing cover to verify which yours is. Hope this answers your question.
On the 3.5 intrepid engine, the water pump is run by the timing "belt"- no timing chain on this motor. Not sure about the 3.3 motor. On the 3.3L the water pump is driven by the serpentine belt.
You could try searching for instructions on YouTube.
The water pump should be driven by the timing belt, yes. If you change the water pump, you might wanna change the timing belt and tensioner while you're in there.
