hi there .

my 89 came out from the factory with one water pump seal shaft.

the 91 came out with 2 seals.

can I upgrade my 89 and put 2 w/p seals like in the 91?

thanks a lot

Certainly have. Works like a champ. Check to see if you water pump shaft is grooved as well. If it is your going to have to replace it along with the seals. Its not a bad idea to replace the bearing while your at it as well. Depending on their condition when your remove the side covers your going to need gaskets (water pump, clutch and side cover).

kdxqueec, nice to see you, stranger!

morie, where will the water pump shaft be grooved?? I have never had one apart, but that will change in the next few days.

I suppose the shaft should be grooved where the seal lips are on the shaft.

There might be groove marks where the seals go and also where it passes threw the bearing. Crappy picture of mine has mini grooves

Hey, all right, a picture! I will have a better idea of what to look out for.

Thanks!

John has the right idea, on my 89 it was quite noticable, you could hook a fingernail on the groove.
