<html><body><div> I am in the process of putting my engine back together and upon cleaning the water pump, I found the bottom of the pump to be thick with what appeared to be grease. As I cleaned the grease away I found a hole at the bottom of the housing. Is this normal? I have a 1955 BN1 and I have to admit, I have never looked at the bottom of a 100 water pump. </div><div> Was there once a grease fitting there? Are all of them open like this? I'm cleaning it to repaint and reinstall, but I'm a bit concerned and need the wisdom of the list to relieve my tension.</div><div> Thanks in advance guys,</div><div>Steven Kingsbury</div><div>BN1</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div><img src="cid:b7a7da2f-8310-4e70-b222-c9aa1f441ee9@icloud.com" class="_auto-scale " alt="IMG_20200916_132240.jpg" title="IMG_20200916_132240.jpg" style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;" data-inline-image="true" data-mce-style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 0px;"></div></body></html>
