Product Details
Gates Water Pumps are built with premium alloy materials and tested for seal and bearing function as well as leakage before release. This Gates 41039 water pump is a direct-fit cooling system component for 1986-1989 Honda Accord and 1985-1987 Honda Prelude applications. It is designed for vehicles using an accessory belt drive and standard impeller rotation, making it a practical replacement when servicing the engine cooling system on these Honda models.

Installation Notes
Verify engine configuration and accessory belt routing before installation. Replace the rubber seal ring during service and inspect the belt, hoses, and mating surfaces for wear or contamination. Confirm that the pump orientation matches the standard rotation and that no pulley, thermostat housing, or back housing is required for your application.
