So I'm having a bitch of a time trying to fit the o-ring on the water pump if my 4agze. it seems just a bit too small, but its the correct part, I'm sure. any advice?

Is it the one that mates water pump to the block under cambelt?

yeap thats the one. trying to stretch it just results in slippage.

(lol)

Where did you get it from? Never come across one that I'd call a tight fit

They normally fall out.. I think you have wrong one.

When i did my starlets water pump it came with a smaller o ring which i had to use on the metal pipe which goes into the rear of the pump and i used gasket goo for the block seal

Maybe your engines the same?

I had the same problem a while back, think it was on my old SW20. Work your way around the o ring slightly stretching it between your fingers. Did the trick for me.

It's easy to see what the problem was - that is a baby seal
