While we often complain about sworking on our LBCs, after a weekend of
replacing the water pump on our Plymouth Voyager, I will gripe no more (at
least for a while).
I have replaced the water pump on my TR250 and GT6+ fairly recently, so I drew
up this little chart comparing the task with the Mitsubishi 2.2 engine in the
Voyager versus the Triumph Six engine. The number in parentheses is the
cumulative number of nuts and bolts that had to be removed (and, obviously,
replaced).
