I can only tell you that I have no car/mechanical skills...and I don't want to be marooned...so I send out. Not worth the small savings....to me.

I admire your tenacity. As much aggravation as you've had already, I'd have cried uncle after the second or third time and sent it to Gouldarthurgouldrebuilders.com/ Terrill Machine or someone else by now. Since you may have to buy some more parts if you keep going, probably money ahead to send it off. They have the tools, parts and can probably identify the problem quickly.

Water pump is the only piece that I sent out. You have to have the right tools, and know exactly what you are doing, or you that pricey rebuild kit becomes waste bin fodder. For a few dollars more, send it out, and let the frustration be someone else's problem.

I've bought several items from PAckards1 over the years. He is an excellent source for 55/56 parts. Maybe other models too. Jack Vines in Washington State has V8 engine parts too. Both have have fair prices and fast shipping. No problems buying from either one of them.

I took a quick look thru the 55/56 service manual but could not find any procedure outlined for water pump rebuilding.

Happy,
How close do the parts in the rebuild kit match to the old parts taken from the pump???? Any differences???? Sometimes differenses can be very subtle too so have to inspect close.

Thanks, Bernardi
