so i put a brand new water pump on my new 383 i get. and have to pop off the rear cover to compress the pump so the pulley lines up nice with the crank pulley. put the cover back on. now about 2 months later i get the truck running and the cover leaks. i think nothing of it and just get all new gaskets to redo this job and be over with it! that doesnt happen and i get it running after taking a long time and doing a nice job and it leaks again! even worse! i guess this is just a part of working on old stuff. its a blast to work on though.
