4th water pump in 3 yrs, seals keep leaking 200

"the cylinder head mating area is quite often corroded with metal deterioration, this area is somewhat out of sight and therefore is often overlooked when repacing the pump. You should be sure that it is smooth as it can be when replacing the pump. THE SEALING AT THIS POINT IS CRUCIAL. USE SOME FINE SAND PAPER OR EMORY CLOTH."

Also use the aforementioned technique of levering the pump up with a large screw driver or pry bar while tighenting the bolts.

seal kits are available from places like IPD for about $10.....you now have a lifetime supply of "new" waterpumps.
