It's been a busy month at my "workshop" so far, and there is still much to do. Aside from restoring a nice little 1.2 GSX Auto (which i have been keeping reasonably quiet about), i have also been working my magic on a few engines. One of which belongs to the Super S.
The water pump is out and a few other bits and bobs have been removed for cleaning and painting. The water pump was indeed worn out, the bearing is stiff, noisy and there is some sideways play on the pulley, not to mention plenty of corrosion. It seems that the pump was removed at some point, and then whoever it was put that "instant gasket" stuff over the origional paper one and then refitted the same pump :suspect:
Pictures will come when all is done :grinning:
