Hay guys, i have a slight problem with my pulley on my water pump. It fell off, dont ask me how it happened but it did.
Ok so here is the story, i pulled out my my friends yard and i hear a pop from the front of the car. i think no biggie, you know, just a rock under the tire or something, then the charge light come on (the little battery lookin thing on the gauge panel). so i dont really think of it, just a bad ground of something. ok now i get to this house to pick him up and i see a little smoke coming out from under the hood, just the fliped lid and the masive amount of blow-by from the valve cover going into the airbox then out from the hood we get back in and now its just rolling out, so i poped the hood and a big cloud of steam rolls out and i see a cooling line spewing out coolent onto my block. so i sit there and let it cool for about an hour an drive the short distance back to my friends house (yes with the messed up line) and we take a closer look and see that the belt was super loose, well what do you know the water pump pulley wedged itself inbetween the alternater pulley and a mount or something. :wtf:
So now that you all know just how dumb i am can you please tell me if the W.pump pulley is pressed on or if they is a bolt that held it on. i also found that on the pulley that fell off , it has 3 bolts and what looks like a mount that once held it on. any info will help
Thanks,
Matt
