Re: water pump inner block tube oring Posted by SWEDECAR [Email] (#112) [Profile/Gallery] (more from SWEDECAR) on Thu, 23 May 2013 21:48:21 In Reply to: water pump inner block tube oring, DanaH, Thu, 23 May 2013 18:03:55 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
It would be pretty crazy to believe that the inner o-ring and the rusty area surrounding it would not be disturbed by the wrestling of getting the old pump out so you be best in replacing that one as well as cleaning off the corrosion in the engine block.
Unfortunately though, the quality of the o-rings (especially cheap water pump kits) are very low and the o-rings will flatten out in a year or two and start to leak again.
I have been trying to use a brown Viton seal instead to see if it will help and I will see the result in a few years.
