[Healeys] water oump

[john spaur]

I recently replaced the water seal in a BT7 pump which has different 
bearings than the BJ8. I had a local shop remove the impeller and 
pulley because I don't have a press. I did that to clean the pump and 
check the bearings, which in my case are permanently lubricated and 
were not that old. It was not difficult to put back together but I 
still don't have the engine back in the car yet so nothing more to 
report. Judging from the parts book the BJ8 pump looks like it would 
be easier to rebuild with a kit.
