water pump seal ring.....

[geonc]

On my water pump, there is a seal ring["O" ring] in the metal tube with a flange that connects the lower rad hose [inlet] to the pump...I gots a dribble from there so I drained the coolant, removed the adaptor and found a seal ring...it is intact so I cleaned it all up with a scotchbrite pad on a die grinder--no cracks visible so I greased the seal ring up and re-assemble....barstige still drips

So....the question is....anyone have a part# for that seal ring? All I can find is the gasket for the pump to the timing cover

I can see if I still have that part in the garage. Its buried alive someplace.

I just did my water pump on the 97 yesterday. New one came with new adapter & Oring. I can see if they'll gimme another one if you don't find one. I've also had good luck with Permatex water pump / thermostat housing sealant. I couldn't get my neck to seal after Mike & I did my motor & used that to get it sealed up without a gasket. Lemme know if u want me to see if they'll gimme another one.

for the replys guys

Actually I did find that the lower neck on the wp uses the exact same seal ring as the thermostat!

When I replaced the water pump 4 years or so back, it came with the neck all ready installed....

Seeing that expensive kool aid looking CAT ELC dripping was making me cry for sure
