I did use a touch of grease when installing the impeller.
The impeller in the pump was 6 blades and the one I installed has 5 blades/legs so more flow and less pressure (as I understand this). If anyone thinks this is a problem please say. I’ll be using my infrared thermometer and I’ll be looking for 120 – 140°f
Again thank you everyone for reading and extra thanks for responding.
Chris five or six either will work. When you start up the old girl make sure the water is up to the bulge where the impeller is. It will pump like crazy or not pump at all. No pumpie something is wrong. You will have to do it over. It is easy to loose the drive pin or miss align the water tube when you assemble the pump housing.
