the 4 bolts on the pulley?
Do the gaskets go on dry?
Is 30 lbs torque for the pump bolts correct?
I've seen conflicting #'s.
My lower hose looks like it been swelling so I'll
replace that and my belt that has cracks all throughout.
Those are all the parts I can afford now so I'm hoping
the tensioner will be OK.
I appreciate your help - I need the job to go smoothly.
Thanks

I just did this on my 90 but I am not 100% sure the 97 is exactly the same.
1. The 4 bolts hold the fan on my 90.
2. I always use gasket sealers on water pump gaskets. Thet even make some specifically for water pump/tstat gaskets.
3. 30 lbs is what the 90 factory manuals specifies.
