All, I am replacing my oil filter housing gasket AND auxillary water pump... does it matter what I do first? Both of them are so close to each other and I'm not sure if they are connected... any thoughts here? I'm working on this today...

 

Do the oil filter housing first then change the axillary water pump.....it's only one bolt for that.

 

Yoshimura-1. thank you... I found oil filter housing gasket broke internally... go figure! Anyhow, I am now putting everything back together... I replaced => oil filter housing gasket, auxillary water pump, oil return / feedlines, ac line and hopefully will be ready by end of this week! Thank you so much! Fingers crossed!

 

Did you change both sets of gaskets......

 

yes

 

There's another set of gaskets once you separate the oil cooler.

 

I didn't get those... I didn't see any leaks there.... we'll see! Fingers crossed!

 

You went through that whole process and didn't change those as well........that would've taken another 5 minutes........

 

well no i didn’t do it… if I had known I would have done it… and I am currently putting body parts back…. And almost finished now… and if I have to go back I will. But I don’t think I’ll have to…if you watch the YouTube guy I referenced below (around 18:17), he didn’t do it either…

 

That's why in your other post I mentioned both sets of gaskets.
