The engine in my 100 will be out soon and I'd like to replace the
present water pump PROVIDED there has been a scientific breakthrough in the
manufacturing of this often problematic piece of equipment.

Is anyone making or reconditioning pumps that offer a real improvement of
what is generally offered to us?

Best--Michael Oritt

Michael, I modified my water pump in 1997 fitting a sealed bearing and a
swimming pool pump seal.
I haven't had it fail, but every time I have been working at the engine
front, I replaced the bearing and seal. I also carry a modified pump in the
boot just in case.
Check out the attachment.

<div>When I did my 100, in 2015, I took the original pump to a very good =

<div>AH Spares professes that they have the =

Using the original parts can work if you have someone who understands pumps=
