working on my engine swap FINALLY... Have to do some swaping over as there are difrences between the 2 engines.. Anyway is the tube that comes off the back of the waterpump replace-able??? This tube has 4 hoses that come off of it... Working on a 91 tracker but installing a 92 or 93 engine
-
The tube is very compatible from year to year. I would take the unit you have to the salvage yard (hopefully a U-pick place where you can grab one yerself) and pull one off an engine. You might find a good on on any vehicle with the type of engine that you have.
What vehicle do you have? Samurai or TracKick?

What's wrong with your existing tube?

What's wrong with your existing tube?..... well where one of the hoses slips on has been plugged with a bolt... NO NIPPLE for the hose to go on... I have a good one on my old engine, was just wondering how or if they come out to swap them around... THANX for the replies

When you do the tube swap, clean the
opening in the block good, use a new O-Ring
and butter it with a little blue silicone to prevent
any leaks, butter the hole too. By butter, I mean
a very light coating, just enough to form a little
bead around the O-Ring when it slips in, and it
helps it slip easy too

THANX, now how does it come out?? do i need to remove the waterpump or does it slide in from the back??
-
1 x 10mm bolt and it slips out the back,
no water pump removal needed ;D

As wild says, there is a 10mm bolt about 2 inches back from the water pump on the side of the block where the tube is fastened. It may require some brackets bracing the intake to be removed (at least there were on my 1.6 16-valve). But once you have the hoses off, the 10mm bolt removed and a good grip on it. it should slide out with a bit of twisting.
Another good silicon product to use when reinserting the tube with a new O-ring is something called Syl-Glide, available at your local auto parts store.
It is a bit odd that there is a plug in one of the inlets. Has the engine been modified in any way? Which engine do you have? And does it have throttle body or Fuel Injection? I have a GM service manual (1.6 8 and 16-valve) that might shed some light on the matter with a bit more info...
Helpfully,

The plug is a bolt somebody stuck into
a rusted out hose nipple, better than
a leak

Okay, bringing back this old thread with a new question. Does anyone know the correct size o-ring that goes on this tube. My old one was swelled and the auto parts stores do not have a listing. Tried one they had that was close but it leaked before I had even started engine. THANKS
-
Pesky O-Ring!
If you have one of the tubes in hand, take it to a local hardware store (along with the original o-ring) and visit the section where they have bulk nuts and bolts (usually Hillman products). If you are fortunate, there should also be a drawer of generic o-rings nearby. If you are even more fortunate, you'll find one that is a good match.
The other method - which is probably the better one... I tend to be adventuresome at times in my repairs - is to call Hawks Strictly Suzuki at 888-SAMURAI and see if they have one in stock. Probably not an expensive part...

Thanks, I will give those a shot. :)
