  Q: How is the water pump attached to the cylinder block and what considerations are there for installation on Volvo 244?

  A:

  The water pump is bolted to the cylinder block through screws, thus having a gasket despite not having a water outlet from the pump into the block. A sealing ring is located in the groove at the top of the pump that will be compressed by the Cylinder Head when the pump is installed. Fitting the water pump with the head removed is easier than with the head in for pushing the pump against the head and making sure the ring is in the correct position while inserting the bolts. This procedure is required if the pump has been removed from its position while the head is left in place.

  Q: What is the function of the water pump on the engines described, and what should be done before fitting the sealing ring to the outlet on Volvo 244?

  A:

  The water pump on the above engines incorporates only one upper outlet into the head, with the heater return pipe located on the rear face of the pump adjacent to the bottom hose inlet. Before fitting the sealing ring to the outlet, it is important to half fill the groove with anti-corrosion liquid such as Dinitrol.
