as topic states, will it fit?

[DjeMz]

anyone? :S

It will fit but not completely.

The small 10mm bolt hole at the top will not line up and you will have to fill it with silicon or something similar. I recommend 3 bond.

but if i just fill it up, how long will it last before i have to keep on resealing it again and again?

You won't if you do it properly.

Why don't you just buy the RB25 one??

a friend has a brand new one i can have for nothing, so that saves me ~$100

being a full time student sucks

what about putting a 10mm bolt in there covered with loctite and then grind the head off so its flat, should seal ok and never come loose.

There is absolutely no point in doing that. Coolant does not leak out of the hole. The bolt is there to provide clamping force to the sealing surface. Without it there you can run the risk of it leaking. Usually a fair while down the track but it is still possible.

It fits....use it if you want to. It probably won't ever leak but make sure you fill the hole up with silicon. And don't come crying on here if it does leak as you have been told it may do so.

That is all.

as a mechanic I suggest against it just buy the proper pump, however if money is that big of problem using either 3bond super sealant (which can only be bought from specialist stores/trade suppliers) or "Ultra Blue" sealer which is readily available from supercheap/auto one or and good spare parts shops apply a thin but full smear of thesealer on booth sides of the gasket and make sure the new pump and surfce of the motor are clean and dry fit the pump with even force over all bolts and allow a few hours set before fitting pulley beltsand fan that should be enough and as suggested earlier fill the left over hole with sealant and allow to set before refilling coolant and running motor
