    The one I saw probably was not the best executed example since it was lowered too. It rode like a truck. I thought the owner was always grinning while driving, but it was actually a grimace.

    You can reuse the attaching bolts except the 1/4-20 which if not twisted-off at disassembly will twist-off on assembly. Again, use thread sealer.

    Just remove and replace. Any water pump that old that has been idle and probably dry will not have a long life. At that time you will see missing bolts (if any) and deal with that. Most of the...

    Your really need to get the cylinders checked too. Sure, it is OK to ream the ridge, hone the cylinders, replace the rings and go. But what if someone already did that once or twice already? ...
