A new or rebuild water pump needs bedding in. Often it will leak slightly for some time untill the seal surfaces have bedded in. Some say to use water only to speed up the process as coolant is suppo

Don't know where, but I read you needed to run it dry and break it in so the pump works better. That sounds a little scary. Also, my pump has a hole where the books shows a "lubrication plug". Am I

It's my understanding that back in the day the water pump seal had to be bedded in before installing the pump on the car. The pulley/shaft was spun (say using the wire wheel on a bench grinder) dry f

Yes but when you do grease the pump through the hole make sure you do not over do the amount or you will blow out the seal to your pump when you replace the plug. Dan Bob, Don't know where, but I re

Sorry, I should have been more explicit. My water pump doesn't have a plug. It's got a hole. It's on top and rather ragged looking, almost as if it were a flaw in the casting. I can see into the pum

Absolutely! The engine should be full of distilled water and with an appropriate amount of anti-freeze. Anti-freeze is a lubricant for the water pump. Running a water pump dry strikes me as a good wa

The hole is an inspection port (really). Your water pump in all probability has sealed bearings--no greasing required. bs -- ** Bob Spidell San Jose, CA bspidell@comcast.net ** _____________________

Greg, my water pump has a similar hole. It does look like the casting is broken out and ragged. I've seen others like that and I've often wondered why it was made that way. My pump has been pumping f

The hole is probably originally intended to be tapped and fitted with a grease nipple for servicing the bearings. However nowadays sealed greased for life bearings are used. Kees Oudesluijs _________

If the graphite seal in the water pump is wet the first time you start it it will leak and will take a long time to seal. I had to remove the pump on my BN1 after I rebuilt the engine and spin it up

It's got nothing to do with the bearings. It's the seal that keeps the water in the engine. Bill Lawrence Bill - I am pretty sure all 6 cylinder pumps rebuilt use sealed bearings so no need for this.
