[V8] Water pump leaking

[Ron Wainwright]

Pump came from Bruce....@ GAC? I was looking over all
of my V8 t-belt purchases from Bruce & he does send
Meyle pumps. & from the 10/15 t-belt jobs I've done
I've never had a problem with those pumps.
 Bruce is a stand up guy I'm quiet sure he'll replace
the pump for you. 
 Don't be like WTF...I understand....but sometimes
these things happen. Is it a PITA to have to get back
in there....sure. But what's you gunna do...know what
I mean.
 As far as the tension those specs are
wrong...136-139mm. The spec is 130-133mm.
