Switchable vs. Non-Switchable Water Pump Information
The factory pump is a switchable style, however a non-switchable pump can be used and is both less expensive and less prone to failure. Read more about switchable pumps on IDParts Blog - All About Switchable Water Pumps
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION WARNING - due to tight clearances inside the block this water pump must be installed straight and NOT tightened down using the water pump bolts. Using the bolts to snug the pump to the block risks the pump getting stuck on an inside edge of the block, which will then cause immediate water pump failure and potential damage to the entire timing system.
