Yes John your gasket is fitted. But held up with the water pump which was refurbed????? and leaked badly before the engine was even started. I stripped it myself to find that nothing has been touched. The firm wont admit anything but have refunded my £120 in full and hoping to collect it from John Walker at Netley on Friday who has hopefully done a proper job. Ron
Pictures tell a thousand words.
Looks good on there mate, What size is the mechanical seal in the water pump, I still have one or two from my days as a catering engineer, I think they are 19mm 22mm O D ceramic, shaft size was about 1/2" I think.
You are probably right with those dimensions John! But I didn't measure anything when I stripped it, so relying on John Walker and his engineer. Cheers Ron
