Timing Cover Clamp
« on: May 03, 2020, 06:42:04 pm »
Does anyone have the timing cover hold down clamp that's needed when changing out the water pump on the V6 engine?  Need to borrow one by the time of the May club meeting.

Thank you, Pat.  I bought it is why it's sold out.

Just for anyone who might later do a search for one, tag  timing cover clamp  KD Tools 3199  may help.  It looks like that was a regular production item for them in the day.  Looks much sturdier than the ones that come with some of the water pumps.

I bought one from another seller as a "just in case".

I'll put mine in the Tools For Loan when I'm finished so others can use it, too.  It was suggested that I purchase a water pump, use the clamp then return everything for credit.  I couldn't find any water pumps that come with the clamp, any more.

A few pictures does not seem a lot to ask.  I have made two 20-hour (driving time) trips there.  I'm not just around the corner.

I will bring my full kit and shoot photos of the events and any specifics you might ask for. Just shoot me a list.
