As an aside, I spent a couple days with Howard Stewart at a test for work. He is a seriously smart and cool dude. At that time, he had already sold the pump business and was making some custom parts for the team we were working with. I told him that I ran one of his pumps and he got a big grin like I was saying nice things about one of his kids.

"Cool dude"...hahaha.
I love guys that see a need for a better mouse trap, develop the new trap, and create a business. THAT is what hot rod/ entrepreneurship is all about.
I had my motor apart all winter and repaired/ replaced, or cleaned up everything I touched, including the water pump. But I never thought to take the back cover off to inspect the impeller. I felt how the bearing spun, saw no evidence of leaking, and just cleaned it up.
Oh well, live & learn.
