Hi Bob,


What if the mounting surface that the pump body attaches to is warped or
somehow no longer true ? Would bolting the pump dowm distort the shaft &
seal orientation and wear the seal quickly ? Can the water pump mounting
flange be straight-edged or checked side-to-side with a dial indicator?
