UPDATE: I rebuilt it. LT1 Water Pump rebuild? Parts available?
I have read, and searched here but couldnt find data, that you can replace the seals and bearings in an LT1 water Pump. Can you? Do you know where to get the parts needed?
I dont want an "Go electric Waterpump" statement, thats not what I am asking. Thanks in advance.

that can do it for you or you can do it. most shops charge 50-60 bucks an hour, heck thats almost the price of a reman pump. autozone gets 67 bucks for a reman pump + a 10 core. its not really worth rebuilding a pump for the aggravation, unless you have yours modified in some way that you need your housing get a reman.
now if you have soemthing like this done than you might look into it, but thats why people go electric so they dont have to rebuild pumps, why dont you want to go electric?

I am in Washington, Seattle area for another week and have a core in my hotel. I will be leaving back to Hawaii, and thought i would try to get parts or whatever. I can get an AC DELCO for 160ish from rockauto, but if it is a simple bearing and seal job, why not try it myself as I have rebuilt most crap on my Vette without doing it before.

Other wise I would have done a Meizer a while ago.

Autozone wants a little more than that, as I just went to their site. 109 was there cheapest.

Didnt even see it. WHo the heck is valucraft? Okay, its by zip code. My zip code, 98314 shows it as 109.
When I hit your link it was 86 dollars excluding 10 dollar core.
Its 54 bucks in Florida.

value craft is just a place that remans parts, thats all they do there big here in PA a lot of auto stores carry there parts. for the most part I never had problems with them, I had used a valuecraft pump on my TA for a while with no problems then I went electric.
