Review on 💦 Gates 44030 Premium Engine Water Pump: Delivering Unmatched Performance by Michael Finnegan

Looks like a quality replacement part identical to the original comes with paper seals. Note that it comes with a plug for 1 of the 2 top sockets but does not come with a water hose fitting which you will need to purchase separately if yours doesn't rotate. (mine doesn't) There are aftermarket hose fittings, but they aren't OEM's with a slotted end. After searching, I found an exact OEM replacement at a vintage Chevy online shop for big-block 454 engines. I used Elmer's Adhesive Spray to glue the gasket to the pump; (Elmer's E455 Heavy Duty Spray Adhesive, 13.5 oz.)
