My car's "spare" water pump, has been living the good life, in Horrie's
trunk, for MANY years.
His existing water pump, just today (at the end of a 100 mile road trip)
began
leaking (pouring-out) big-time-enuf....
Got him home, and to a gas station, before noticing the active leakage,
and with no over-heating
occurring.
Question: do water pumps dry out, internally, when dry-stored, for many
years????
His "spare" water pump's impeller turns somewhat/rather stiffly, but
SMOOTHLY, and with NO lost-motion to its operation.
Germans, and maybe the Swiss, too) would describe the impeller's current
turning/rotating effort-needed as being Gutenteit.
So, is Horrie's spare water pump in good operating condition (with its
stiffly-but-smoothly
turning impeller), or should/could the impeller-system be overhauled or
somehow lubricated
before being installed on H.'s engine????
Gaskets are cheap-enough, and my spare one is SLIGHTLY warped, and has
one mounting hole in it,
that has a slight crack in it.
So, I suppose that that gasket, after all 'these' years, is righteously
HISTORY, now....
What should I do, to ensure the good operation of his spare water pump,
or to confirm that the spare
water pump IS in good operating condition?
