Guys-I had the good fortune to have my original BN1 100 water pump=0Areb=
uilt by a outstanding machinist, Doug Worthington, who used a=0ADelran s=
eal/bush to do the job. It works perfect! No leaks. He used=0ADelran on=
a huge piece of construction equipment subject to extreme=0Avibration a=
nd solved that issue. I can only hope it will run on my car=0Aforever...=
or at least till I'm gone. Hank=0A=0A=09--------------------------------=
