I dont doubt ya Allan, but I can add to the "you havent lived" statement UNTIL YOU CHANGED THE WATER PUMP ON A FREAKIN 460 FORD IN AN RV IN THE RAIN IN A WAL MART PARKING LOT GRRRRRRRRRRR (and had to do it twice, dont even ask why)
ONLY people who have done it will understand and can relate to this....On that freakin engine there must be 15 bolts attached to the water pump including Alternator,,,,,,,,Smog Pump,,,,,,,,,Power Steering Pump,,,,,,,,,AC Compressor,,,,,,,,,,idlers,,,,,,,,fan,,,,,,,,,, LIKE 3 BELTS,,,,,,,,all other sort of CRAP lol
Contract that to a 454 Chevy with like 4 bolts and all that CRAP isnt attached to it.....We were on a trip to Montana in my buddys 454 that lost a pump and he got a ride to town for a new one and returned in like 20 mins AND I HAD THE PUMP OUT LAYING THERE USING ONLY JUNK BUFFALO FORGE TOOLS PLIERS AND CRESCENT WRENCH..
