And is this the seal installation tool?: https://amz.run/9SaU
When you say a new water pump will come with o-rings, are those SEPARATE than what comes in the kit? Are they installed on the pump already?

Awesome, thanks for all that info! So this kit (https://bityl.co/RR4B) includes all the gaskets and seals I'll need for the job?

I almost got that tool from Amazon, but went with one slightly cheaper. Didn't work out. Try that and see.
If you buy a new water pump, it will come with the o-rings. I forget if they were installed; however, sliding the o-rings on the shaft will be the easiest part of this job.
Either way, you'll have o-rings if you get the gasket set.

I'd hold out for a petris if you can. Talked to them yesterday and told me early september to be back in stock. Maybe get in contact with them.
I have my 94 with a vented petris for 2 years and 20k miles. They also have lifetime warranty for 55$

I was able to get a Petris from ZIP.
