Title: Re: Bottom Water Rail O ring Size Post by: spyder_resto on May 15, 2024, 11:20:34 AM I have the gasket that comes with the Water pump. Haynes manual states that there is an O ring that should be replaced when you reconnect the lower water rail to the water pump.
It was this O ring size that I was after. Thanks Si Title: Re: Bottom Water Rail O ring Size Post by: Nigel on May 16, 2024, 09:05:14 PM Indeed there is an O ring. I did mine some 4 years ago and I think the pump
I bought had the ring included. I suggest you get a box of assorted rings. You'll more than likely find a match. Or disassemble first and measure.

Happy to pop a couple in the post. Mark Title: Re: Bottom Water Rail O ring Size Post by: spyder_resto on May 17, 2024, 09:30:46 AM Hi Mark,
