Going back together
New harmonic balancer seal, new water pump, new alternator.. going back together.
Back at it
Had a bad oil leak from the front of the engine. Did some testing… without any accessories, no oil leak, the minute I put a fan belt on and connected the power steering pump or the alternator, oil sprayed generously out of the harmonic balancer seal… it had to be replaced. I used this opportunity to replace the water pump, the alternator and the power steering pump so I wouldn’t have to deal with that in the near future. Can’t button it up quite yet as the new water pump does not come with the heater hose connectors and the ones from the old water pump will be no good after liberating them from it. Also, needed to order a new harmonic balancer bolt as the current one is toast….
