Default Re: Winter project

Sounds like you have things under control. Remeber the beveled end of the flywheel ring gear teeth face the REAR. Turn the radiator upside down to flush out and junk laying on top of the tubes. I found the original water pump design to be the best, most reliable, most leakproof pump there is. I do like to add the rear bushing with a seal at the rear to keep the grease and antifreeze seperated. And, I like to add the locking collar to the front of the pump. Be sure to add grease around the new lead packing rings, and you'll have a long lasting reliable leakproof water pump.
