Got the water pump off and the water distributing tube out, no real problem except one broken water pump stud.
The tube has a dent in it that looks very suspicious. Could that be a valve coming up and making contact inside the motor, or damage from a previous rebuilder when they removed it 20 years ago?
The reason I say it looks suspicious; it has a series of impressions, all in a similar area, very precise.
Ideas? Should I stop everything and pull the head?
