Getting ready to install a new water pump on my 63 BJ7. Was told I should
"run it in" for ten minutes on a lathe before installing in the vehicle or it
may leak. Any ideas on that theory from the more experienced folks out
there?
It looks like I will need to move or remove the radiator, remove the fan and
belt, pull the pump; then reverse the process. Being a novice
mechanic.....is there anything special I need to look out for? What type of
gasket compound is best?
Thanks in advance.
