removing the front cover

Post by Andy515666 »

Hi

Silly question perhaps but

Can you remove the front cover from a 3.9 without removing the water pump?

Andy

p.s. Sorry if that sounded totally retarded, its late on a sunday night and i am fried!

Yes you can. The water pump will remain attached to the front cover. There are some long bolts that sandwich the front cover between the water pump & block that have to come out.
