My water pump went out on my 94 last week so I ordered a new one from Max. I got it yesterday and as I installed it I snapped a bolt into the block. How the F' am I going to get that out? The other three are in so I'm hoping it will hold.
I also have a leak coming from the oil adaptor gasket. I removed the filter and the 3 bolts just fine. It wouldn't come out so I looked in the manual and saw that there are actually 4 bolts. I find the forth one and I end up stripping the bolt with a 12 point socket. I spray it with penetrating oil, let it sit for a while and then I get on it with a 6 point socket. I was surprised that it was grabbing quite well but I ended up stripping it with the 6 point as well, WTF! The socket was fully set into the bolt. So I went out and bought a set of stripped bolt removers. Hopefully this will do the deed with the overnight penetration. I don’t have an air compressor so I do it all by hand, damn I need to get one! : ( keep your fingers crossed.
