water pump on 3.4DOHC

[Philsz34]

is it easy to do a water pump on a 1992 chevy z34 lumina 3.4 DOHC

[Crazy K]

easy as all the 2.8/3.1/3100/3400/etc. much easier than a sabb 900!

 

really simple. Why do you ask?

[White93z34]

very simple, loosen the 3-4 bolts on the pulley, remove the belt, remove pulley. then another 3 or so bolts and it is out.

not bad at all just did mine last week on my 93 z34 .

get the coolant overflow jug out of the way first so you can see what you are doing

all good

I just did one on my sisters car. I haven't had a chance to put it back together but definatly easy.

i have a coolant leak from the water pump i think. also it has a nasty noise comming from it also you know that clip on the 3.4L under the throttle body above the exhaust.. well thats leaking coolant there too just like my 94 grand prix was leaking.. i havent been able to find that clip for some reason though. i dont remember where i found it before

the pot metal looking thingy? AZ and Advanced both carry it, it is called an "oil cooler fitting" might be with the "help!" or raditor cap sections in the store, and not behind the counter.

Well that clip can simply be replaced by a hose clamp. You can get those anywhere.

 

Ken, he's talking about the pot metal pipe that runs along the front of the cam carrier and to the TB and heater hoses.

 

What does AZ and Advanced carry because I don't think that it's the pipe.
