No change today. I did have my laser temp gauge and as soon as I got back I hit the packing nut and it was 142 F same as the stat housing and rad inlet. Do you think this may be reasonable? My thinking is if I have it too tight it would be getting hot so I may have a ways to go in tightening it. A slight amount of grease still easing out at the packing nut and shaft but very little water at this point.
I must not have done anything with this pump because I believe I could get another ring of packing into it.
thanks
Dave
ps This is a fun car to drive, I knew it would be so it kept me going.
