Default V8-60 water pumps

Had water running into the crankcase and got a lot of good advice that showed it was the waterpumps. Got rebuilding kits and rebuilt both. The cores are the ones that came from the engine.

Rebuilding kits included shafts with bearings, bushings, rotors, springs and the rubber noses.

Filled the radiator and engine and turned the water pumps over by hand. Water ran down from the front of the engine - looks like over the crankshaft.

Took everything apart and checked it but didn't find a problem so put it back together lubricating the rubber seals like you would an oil filter.

Filled the radiator and engine again and the water ran out the same way.

These pumps have two small rubber bands, a large copper seal and large gasket. What am I missing?????? Thank you for all your help in the past.
