CONNECTIONS
NOTE: A new right bank water outlet tube is available.
The new water outlet tube is designed to avoid
interference with lifting chains. The new tube part
number is P/N A214179 and replaces previous part
number, P/N A211551S (see Figure 5.20-40). Engines
manufactured after March 10, 2003, have the new tube
installed.
