Extra water pump grease
I was given a couple gallons of pennzoil #362 water pump grease. Is this stuff still relevant?

Re: Extra water pump grease
Use regular wheel bearing grease in water pump.

Re: Extra water pump grease
Speaking of water pump grease, should one use a different type? Also, wondering if the grease could pass into the water jack?

BTW, in the 10 years I've been running my restored water pump, I don't think I greased the rear bushing more than three times. and only checked the packing nut a couple times to see how tight it was. I keep it just lightly tightened. The rear bushing is still nice with no slop. |

Re: Extra water pump grease
I always use waterproof Calcium Sulfonate base trailer bearing grease in the pump rear, but that's only because I always have several guns with different greases. Too much pumped in will surely gunk up your radiator, so be careful not to over-do it.
