ya all i had at the time i finished the pump was my cell phone so ill put better ones up next time i post some of the block and heads. i think the whole engine will take me less time then the water pump did . there are alot of holes and cranys to get into and i ground down all the seems. so good luck to anyone else that is doing this... its worth all the work in the end

i use a foredom (exspensive dremel with foot control)and small "tootsi roll" sanding bits to get into the cracks, you can get these at a industrial tool supply store. the sanding bits are pretty cheap. use rough sand 150 grit to knock down the casting till flat then move to a finer grit to remove the scratches then they make bits that look like scotch brite pads these are about 600 grit from there i polish with felt tips and compound. if you want to get really picky you can wet sand it down to 800 or 1000 grit then polish to get a mirror like shine. good luck and just take your time it wont be a fast process.
