ok maybe im missing something very obvious here, but i started the headgasket job on my truck a few months ago and then life kinda got in the way (getting married and things of that nature).
so during the dis-assembly i broke the two bolts that hold the coolant bypass tube to the water pump housing and then the bypass tube itself got crushed by a tractor weight (the downfall of sharing a garage with tractors).
so now with new parts in hand im ready to reassemble my truck.....finally. but when i try and line up the bypass hose with the water pump housing they dont seem to fit. almost like theres a spacer in there that im forgetting about.
any help would be greatly appreciated, getting kinda sick of driving my wife's tacoma to work lol
