Hi Steven, not sure if you are aware or not but the 100 water pump is a very
different animal to the 6 cylinder types and most of the parts, other than the
bearings, are unique and, unfortunately, not available.
The reproduction pumps are, or at least were when I last bought one, somewhat
different in several ways from the originals with parts not interchangeable
with the original and no threaded hole to accept the heater shutoff tap.
I managed to find parts to rebuild my original maybe you can too.

grab ahold of you fan. move it towards and away from engine. if it moves,
you most likely have a bad bearing. Slim chance the gasket is leaking.
Typically water comes out of the bottom weep hole after bearing/seal fails.
You should get a new gasket with replacement pump, if not gasket in a tube
works fine. Not sure if there is a shaft length difference with a BN1,
others can comment.
Best way to test a thermostat is a thermometer and a pan or water on the
stovetop. Note temp when stat opens, or if it fails to open....
