Default LT1 Water Pump Rebuild
Does anyone know of a source for the bearing and seal to rebuild the LT1 water pump? It seams like a waste to throw away the whole assembly just because the seal or bearing fails.
Thnaks, Steve.

Just a suggestion, think about going with an electric coolant pump.

If you do this you can swap your waterpump in about 5 minutes (or less)

I agree this is a good option, but probably more expensive then a rebuild kit.

I also agree they must be avaible (seals ect) but I'm not sure from where....

R&D makes a camber brace that fits the electric coolant pump. Just sell your straight camber brace and buy a new one.
