"If I'm not mistaken there are four bolts which hold on the pump to the block, And one which holds the pipe to the pump and goes into the block. Does that sound right? There seems to be an extra hole in the new pump but I wasn't sure if I had lost a bolt."
Without going out to one of my 240's or digging out a spare pump to refresh my memory--I'd say you are mistaken. There should be 5 bolts (some models have two studs and three bolts) holding the pump to the block. There's one at the very bottom--center. I use that hole to pry the pump up to squish the rubber top seal and then add that bolt last. I was confused by "And one which holds the pipe to the pump and goes into the block." The bolt and nut that hold the water pipe are independent of the WP securing bolts. -- Dave
