Re: Monumental Screw Up
Hi Bruce, Thanks for sharing your pain. I am just about to step off the same cliff. A leaky pump which I reckon would become a gusher! A big "THANKS" to all who responded to Bruce's message - I appreciate it!

Re: Monumental Screw Up
Jim - use the red permatex, don't tighten the bolts too much as it seems the aftermarket pumps have flimsy threads, and let the permatex set before you start the car.
And let us know how you make out!!
Good luck,
Bruce

Re: Monumental Screw Up
I was really hoping to get to the job today. But when I awoke, looked outside and saw a dusting of SNOW - kinda took the wind out of my sails
