Water pump rebuild
I had replaced the water impeller earlier but it was a smidge too thick and stuck above the lip of the housing a fraction—didn’t’ think this was an issue at the time, but the backing plate did leak water. I thought the leakage was from general failure of the water pump internal seals, but the new impeller was a better fit and could tell the difference when reinstalling the backing plate.

Water was dripping from the weep holes of pump, and a minor bit from the elbow fittings as well. Rebuilt pump with MMI kit, cleaned up and re-taped the elbow fittings with teflon tape. Also cleaned up the rust on side of engine and repainted area with Rustoleum paint. Good thing to do whenever a engine part comes off.

Pictures in reverse order.
Job complete, can't see lower bolt extender here, but nice addition.
cleaned up with dremmel wire wheel, repainted with rustoleum rust inhibitor paint.
