you can buy the water pump o ring at your local store, (mine was cut by accident when changing water pump) just go in and ask for one, they should have it.

They are usually rusted pretty bad. So just replace the whole thing.

Mine (probably original) didn't have a speck of rust on it. But nothing rusts down here...


I replaced it anyway, with the new water pump.

You most likely should have re used the one that came on it. Because now you have some Chinese crap on it like the Dorman unit. LOL

Haha you are probably right.

The old one was JB welded into the water pump though, so it wasn't coming out haha!
