Several thoughts -
I beleive that the rotating seal surface under the impeller probably goes thru a 'seating in' in the first few hours of running.
I have been using 'Bars Leaks' in my 'B' engine for years as lubricant and leak protection - and no pump probelms.
I also recommend turning the engine over by hand - rolling the car in gear with plugs removed - to avoid 'shock' to the WP gears. You now have a new gear meshing with an old gear and I have seen too many pump gear failures after 'new' pump installation - sometimes after a couple thousand miles. Good luck.
