Re: Water Pump Problems (?)
there is a thread that explains the procedure for greasing lightly after a run. you leave the motor idling, loosen the packing nut, apply one, and only one partial pump of your favorite marine grease, snug the packing nut only enough to eliminate any coolant drips. the trick is to minimize the grease that finds its way into the coolant. Roger kaufman of the model a news had an annual lestoil treatment with paper towels to blot the grease out of the radiator as an annual maintenance item.
