Default Re: Thickness of water pump gasket??

I actually have a spare gasket from a kit I ordered a couple of years ago when I did my head gasket R/R. Thanks for the reminder though!!

I hit the same thing a year ago when I replaced my water pump. It ended up being the actual impeller was not on the shaft properly. It was a royal PITA. I had to remove and return and get another and install.

Well, Just got home from a failed attempt to swap out my water pump. The rebuilt pump impeller was not pressed on the shaft deep enough. This caused the same issue as in previous posts in this tread regarding the impeller hitting the block and not allowing the pump body to seat to the block. Just a word of caution, to anyone considering a rebuilt water pump, be careful. Going in search of an AC Delco now.

Well, I decided to go the "reman" route one more time and bought one from H2OPumpMan on eBay. The impeller looks perfect and it came with the correct gasket with the bead on it. I installed it today and am ecstatic to say, it's perfect! The beast is back!
