Hey guys I am looking to change the cambelt and water pump if necessary, I just wanted to ask, I remember reading about this pump several times before and I recall there being some sort of pipe or o'ring needing to be replaced too. Can anyone help me out and remind me exactly what I need to buy as a kit?

Thanks in advance

its the O ring for the bypass pipe, a stainless steel pipe that runs from the back of the pump, along the side of the block underneath the manifold

if its your major service, it makes sense to change the water pump and bypass\o rings

When I had my service done the water pump had just started to leak........that was on 62k....
