<div>When I did my 100, in 2015, I took the original pump to a very good machinist who fashioned a seal out of delrin and he figured out the correct spring pressure using an original NOS part and the pump works perfect to date.</div>

<div>AH Spares professes that they have the best pump. Many other aftermarket makers, including County, make junk. Using the original parts can work if you have someone who understands pumps.The proper spring pressure is critical to prevent leaks and the seal being made out of delrin resists wear from vibration. This machinist worked for an agricultural supply company.

<div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: #3333ff;">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.</div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: #3333ff;"> </div>
<div class="gmail_default" style="color: #3333ff;">Is anyone making or reconditioning pumps that offer a real improvement of what is generally offered to us?</div>
