Hey, I am having a problem installing a new water pump into my jdm b18c1. the new pump i have is genuine honda (Australia) and has the part No. 19200P72013 and basically the problem is that this new pump did not come with the two small dowel pins that obviously support/reinforce the bolts. The dowels on the old pump will not come out of the housing and appear to be a very slightly different size anyway. Where can i get new dowels and are there different sizes or do i really need to use dowels at all? I have searched and cant find any info on the dowels at all! they are not even mentioned in any water pump install guides. Your help is much appreciated as i am really stressing over this.....

 

what you want to do is go and get a factory water pump. YES the price is a little bit higher than after market but well worth it. aftermarket pumps dont flow the coolant as well as factory. and YES the factory one will come with the dowel pins.
