So I posted back in January about using the questionable ebay 12 cog pump shafts and impeller, as well as using the mysterious orange water seal >

Possible success!

I got the pump installed last week > and I took my time installing it(a few hours). I had a minor set back when I filled it up with coolant and the intake manifold was squirting water from under the manifold where the water jacket is. I just used anaerobic sealer instead of using a gasket, but I had great luck with that method two times before. Not so lucky this time. I think the sealant got pushed around while fitting the manifold, cus when I removed it last night, there was a bare spot in that area. I found an intake gasket in my parts stash and put it back together again, and it fired right up. I let it run for about 20 minutes, even running it at 3000 rpms for at least five minutes. No water leaks, temp stayed in the middle of the gauge > and even dropped when the thermostat opened.

Too early to rejoice?

I'll get my registration this weekend and start driving it again, since the weather is cooperating. I'll report back if it decides to destroy itself.
