Hi Bill,

Did you contact FCP about the poor casting of the Hepu water pump they supplied? I would expect them to make that right once they are notified.

I don't have any photos of a failed upper gasket. I can tell you that by the time I get tired of topping up the coolant as well as looking at the problem it gets quite ugly.

Reference to avoiding RTV on pump seals: I have done it more or less the same way for a very, very long time. That includes the use of silicone RTV in the way I described. I have a tendency to disregard warnings about things that I have done numerous times without consequences.

I haven't been able to send internal emails in the Brickboard for a very long time. If you would like to send some images I have an account that I consider insecure and only use occasionally just for things like this. I consider it my spam account since once an address is posted openly that is what I get the most of there:vguy240atyahoodotcom.
