doing all that work and not replacing the water pump? napa sells a good one for under $50 bucks, $43 if memeory serves & i put the p/n in the repository. i got one when i did my head job, the o-ring that came with it fit perfectly <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />. the one that came with my gasket kit for the head job was a sloppy fit aswell, so it went straight into the rubbish.
