[C320-list] Speed Seal

[Russell Monaco]

I have thought about this, it just doesn't seem like much of a convenience, if it was forward mounted, like on the new 3YM30, then sure the speedseal makes it a real fast job, probably eliminating half or more of the effort, but with us having to remove the pump and take off the belt anyway, and then replace it all with the correct position of the items, the 6 screws are the least of our concern, I have decided it isn't worth it to save what amounts to a very small percentage of our job....just my 2 cents.

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."
