Got me a radiator (new to me), local junkyard found it for me from a few counties over, $55 more down the drain. Got it fired up (starts like a champ, ran like a top) to find that the water pump leaks.

 

Haven't gone to tear into it yet, but is there a gasket there that might be shot? Reckon something is gone amuck and I'm gonna be throwin more money down the drain?

 

I don't know how long the car was run without/low on coolant, what is the likelyhood of the head being cracked?

run without coolant is always bad.

 

there is an oring seal at the water pump and a small hose attaced to the block that may be the suspects as well.

Yea, I know it is bad, but I was wondering if the little 3 cylinder can take some abuse (however many miles w/o coolant to the mechanic's shop), or if I can expect a total rebuild of the Justy.

 

I think it might be the O-ring since it appears to be leaking around where the pump meets the block. Is there a rebuild kit for the water pump? Where should I get the o-ring (no local Subaru dealer, would have to order off the internet)?

ah wait. its a justy? I assumed it was an EA motor.:-\

 

just replace the water pump.the dont cost that much.

 

a compression test would be a good thing to do if you are not sure of the motors internal condition in addition to pressure testing the cooling system.

Where's a good place on the intraweb to get a justy waterpump.

rockauto.com didn't have a water pump, should I just get the gasket or go ahead and get the rebuild kit?

 

Also, is there a FSM avaliable for the Justy?

Find new water pump, get just the gasket, or get the rebuild kit (gasket, seals, impeller)?

 

Where can I get a FSM for the 1993 Justy (it's a Gen 2, right?)

Check EBAY, awhile back they had waterpump rebuild kits for around $24

I can get the rebuild kit from rock for less than $20.
