[C320-list] Speed Seal

[Scott Thompson]

I did this and put a writeup on the website before it got rebuilt. 
Don't know if it's still there.  Bottom line is that while I could 
easily remove the cover, I still couldn't actually remove the impeller 
without unmounting the water pump to turn it around.  It still saves 
time, and I only have to deal with four large thumb screws rather than 
six (?) little screws easily dropped or stripped.  Same engine as you, 
BTW.  I guess I'm glad I did it, but it would be a much bigger deal if 
the water pump were not mounted "backwards."
