Started to pull the intake, saw this:
Something to worry about? Can I pull the pump and seal it up somehow, or is it trash?
Oh, and what size 12 point to I need to get for the OEM head bolts?

I think its the 12mm for the head bolts. The pedal cluster from that donor is going to be a pain to get out and I don't have much loot right now. I was hoping you were buying the whole car.....

Yeah, I'm just planning on getting the long block out of it since it's the only thing that will swap. They will probably have it in the yard for a while.

The pump is trashed. Just remove it and bypass it.MikeWire wrote:Started to pull the intake, saw this:

But make sure you save that 10awg power wire for your next bangin' sterereo!
Also, since you are needing to be pulling and putting in and working on motors, do I hear 3.1L daily driver?!

I'm keeping the core, so it's always a possibility.

Picked it up in Conrad, which is about 45 minutes north of GF. That MKIII in GF, the kid didn't want to call me back, and I figured it wasn't worth chasing him down, so I found this one. It's in better shape, newer and should be an easy fixer.
