torque for water pump bolts
"My Chiltons manual shows 12-18 ftlbs also for the water pump bolt torque.The wp pulley to hub bolt torque is shown as
36-47 ftlbs."
This is what I was looking for. Thanks a ton! does it say how much torque for the thermostat housing?
Thanks again buddy!!

Incorrect Specs For A 3.7ltr
Sorry man,I should have quoted AYEHO5.0 when I posted those numbers,so it would have been clear the specs were meant for 86-95 5.0 Mustangs.The picture & the signature,in the very first post,wasnt showing up for some reason when I typed my first post,
so I was assuming he had a 86-95 5.0 model seeings how he was posting in the 79-95 section.His signature lists a 89 & 02 model,so I guess its a 02 model
he was wanting specs for,not a 95??
When I typed this post,I happened to look closer at the very first post and realized it was posted way back in 2009.He definitely has the car up and running by this time.

I'm so confused now. So "12-18 ftlbs also for the water pump bolt torque.The wp pulley to hub bolt torque is shown as
36-47 ftlbs." is not for a 2011 v6 3.7 mustang. Do you know the numbers for a 3.7 v6 mustang?
On another post this was posted:
Pump:
There is also a tightening sequence...
..3 1 5 6
4 2 .. 7
Step 1 - 89 in-lbs
Step 2 - +45 degree turn
Over tightening will damage the pump.
Thermostat Housing:
..1
2 3 4
Step 1 - 71 in-lbs
Step 2 - +45 degree turn

If your Mustang is/is not under warranty and you haven't had it done yet,theres a coolant hose thats supposed to be replaced,which falls under a TSB.The updated hose has a check valve in it,which is supposed to prevent the water pump from developing a leak for reasons other than high mileage/age/ mechanical pump failure.So check this hose on your car and if its missing the check valve,see if Ford will replace it for free under the TSB and if not,buy one and replace it yourself.I don't know if the hose without the check valve causes an issue with the pump or if it just forces a coolant leak from a gasket.A illustration
of the hose is shown below and the link details the TSB.

Not on those rubber gaskets.
But this is the 5.0 section, so getting back to that, I feel the need to clarify that I do like to put a thin coat of RTV on the 5.0's water pump gasket. Technically, you're not supposed to need it, but we don't always have perfect mating surfaces to work with, so using a little RTV helps put my mind at ease. Just a thin coat, though. Not a bead. I do the same with the timing cover gasket.

Start your own thread in the correct sub forum. This subforum is for 1979 to 1995 ONLY. In this case all information is for a 5.0L of that year.
