    Your perseverance is admirable. I have exactly the same problem with the same bolt (and from what I read in another comment I think it must be a recurring problem) but I chose to cover it and tighten the water pump with only the four remaining bolts. Anyway, I think your method is the correct. Kind regards

    I have a 404 Diesel Pick up, xd88 engine. I know people have 5 speed gearbox in cars like mine, hear shifter at the column. In a french Forum, I read that only the ba7/5 can be used, and only if it comes from a 505 Break Diesel or a 504 Pick up diesel. I‘m looking for a 505 Break 2.5 diesel, I think the best engine for a 404 Pick up.

    my pickup is the same orange color and RHD from S. Africa but now in California. I did think about turbo but you are right, there isn't very much room on that side of the engine. is this engine much more powerful than the original xd88? My mechanic wanted to do the engine swap like you did but I wanted to keep the column shift so decided to rebuild the original engine. I think my box is a bit different to the european 404 picks up and maybe different to yours?. I read some were made in Mozambique?
