    feel so brain silly now…

     

    thanks for   the gust of wind it is all clear now.  (No instructions came with the  “new kit”)

     

    As to sealing the “underside”  with a 303339   copy,    I’ll be using  the curvy gasket  as a model  while leaving in the  ” missing link”  of the curve. This   will  surely seal off the oily section  from  it’s the impeller water  routing  duties .

    1/32 inch   home made gasket paper should be  fine   but can’t  vouch for results till Spring time   …

    no reason why it would not work since  the modified  copied…curvy gasket as how in   quote # 273197  becomes a look a- like to  a   303399.  I’ll  make certain the  GC  water channel lines up.

    Problem solved …:-)  I,ll post pictures asap… Casino day tomorrow 🙁  can’t work on my CD .

     

    Big thanks to everyone 🙂

    I’m assuming the water pump kit you bought was not on OEM/OMC/BRP kit.

    What I think I’m hearing you say is that you modified the new style impeller hsg gasket so it fit/sealed properly over the water passage on the underside of the upper bushing/seal hsg?  Am I hearing you correctly?  If so, I may have to investigate this substitution/modification to resolve a frustrating issue!  Let me know, thanks.  Don
