Looks like this pump might be this one, no?<br>

If so, it appears to have sealed bearings, with a spacer in
between. You'd probably want to fill that cavity with grease, but
that's just a guess. Note when I bought my BJ8 I believe it had a
greasing port (not a zerk, maybe a cup). I bought 'water pump
grease,' which comes in a tub and is much thicker and tackier than
typical greases, and a special gun--looks like a large metal
syringe--to pump the grease into the pump. AHS's new 6-cyl pump
appears to have a sealed bearing AND a zerk fitting, which makes me
wonder if the zerk is only there to fill a casting hole?<br>

Here is a picture of the uprated water pump I want to install to
my 4 cylinder build. As you can see in the picture I have circled
the zerk fitting for lubrication. The other circle is around a
flush hex plug at the top of the pump. I can see both of these
points are in different planes. Does that mean there are two
lubrication points? How often should the pump be lubricated?
Just a few questions before I yank the County brand new water pump
that was put on during the short block build. Not really a fan of
County brand anything.
