Re: [Amc-list] Water Pump / Timing Cover Clearance

[Todd Tomason <jayscore@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a little more information on this.  It turns out my son had thrown 
the water pump on without the gasket so he could get the engine painted.  
That's why it won't turn at all.  When we test-fitted it with the gasket the 
other day you could feel it scraping against the timing cover.  I still think 
we're going to have to double gasket it.
