Need help quick

That's what it sounds like to me.

check to make sure it isn't the seals between the h20 pump,timing over, and block those like to go out and do a simular thing. if your really lucky it fills up your crankcase with water

a good brand would probably be a oem one from ford. Yes they cost more but think of how long your original one lasted. i can tell you a heck of a lot longer then 1 year. Also you could look into edelbrock moroso or the such for a good aftermarket piece.

Some help when you change the pump...

Take a cardboard box, & turn it upside down. Count the number of bolts that hold the water pump on, don’t forget to count the 4 funny looking studs too. Poke a hole in the box for each bolt/stud. Arrange the holes in a circular formation, and mark the box at the 12:00 point. When you remove a water pump bolt, put it in one of the holes in the box according to where it came out of the water pump. When you are done, all bolts will be arranged it the exact same order and position that you removed them from the water pump. That makes re-installing them easy, no wondering where does this bolt go.

A long shank tap should be used to chase the dirt & corrosion out of the original threads before you reassemble everything. Cleaning the threads will help prevent the bolts from seizing next time (yes, there will be a next time).

Use lots of antiseize on the bolts to protect them from corrosion and make them easier to remove next time.

A word about the links, if they don’t work, do a search on the part number (P/N). MSC updates their catalog regularly, and the pages may change, but the part numbers don’t. You will need the Adobe Acrobat viewer which is also a free download – http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

See http://www.windsorfox.com/engtbk.htm for Stainless Steel Water Pump Bolts with Custom stainless steel studs. Allow the use of factory accessory brackets without hunting for obsolete parts or using spacers.

Kit comes complete with nine polished stainless 12 point bolts, four stainless studs and nine stainless oversized washers.

Price: $69.95

For another source for the stainless steel water pump bolts, See http://totallystainless.net/totally.html for the bolts. Last time I checked, they didn't have the studs. Nice folks, very into cars of all types. They have all kinds of stainless fasteners for almost every car. The prices are very reasonable, less the $8 for the water pump kit without the studs.

The studs are a Motormite item available at your local Advance Discount auto Parts store.

Diversified sells new Ford pumps at a good price. The higher end Stewart stuff is nice too.

I'm not one who thinks that a motor needs a special water pump if the motor puts out a bit more power than stock (I even think HV pumps are not often needed). That's just me and others will say differently.

Good luck.
