I fitted a new water pump last summer, in the parking lot of my
apartment complex. I read the advice from Moss on lapping the
bearings, but I didn't have access to a drill or other device to spin
the pump. So I just installed the pump, hooked up the belt, and ran
the engine for about a minute with no water in the system.
