That is odd as it should easily hold more than 1bar as is the case in most cars of the era.

The seal in the water pump is a carbon ring under spring pressure against a cast iron surface. If the spring is too strong the seal wears quickly so the design is such that there is; /html/healeys/2009-02/msg00559.html (10,648 bytes)
