DBOZ Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 So she died, in my driveway at least. Warming her up for college, and just coolant everywhere! I have the shop manuals for her, but its going to be a real PITA. Just curious if anyone did one on a SVX. I have to remove the WHOLE front end to replace the waterpump. I also have to replace the timing belt(better if i have to take it off). Just curious I'm driving the brat till hopefully I get it fixed by the end of the summer. Thanks in advance!

Turbone Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I havent done one IN the car yet. My engine is currently out of the car. So, to answer your question - No, it wasnt a pita for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94Loyale Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 It's not bad to do in the car if you pull the radiator out, then you have plenty of room. Just like working on a phase 1 2.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBOZ Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Well the timing belt is what makes this waterpump go. I'm more mad on how difficult it will be to just replace a simple thing. I swear my Delorean is easier to work on some days than this thing. I got some guys on the SVX forums that gave me all the oem part numbers that I need to replace since I have it all taken apart. Thanks again! Darrell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s'ko Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 It is possible to place w/it still in the car. like 94loyale said remove the radiator first. You will need to remove the crank pulley and get to the covers. You might as well get a timing belt kit while you are at it. Don't be too freaked out about getting the timing right on the first shot. The EG33 is non-interferential. Good luck. If you need documentation or how to set the timing shot me a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
