Will it hurt a used water pump to sit out of a car for a few months?

Like could the seals or o rings dry up at all.

You know where I can buy new ones and if it its hard to change them?

Anywhere really. Any vendor's water pump gaskets will do the job. I'm sure ebay has some too. The dealership, or a local auto store even.

I meant the internal o rings, I have new installation gaskets for between the pump and block

I would think it would be ok, I mean they sit on the shelf for sometimes years at a time. How many miles you have? Maybe you should just invest in a new one while you have it off, that way you are good to go in the water pump category for awhile.

I ended up ordering a new one. Don't remember the part number off hand, but its ac delco, and the ls2 style I think

That's a good idea. Good luck with your projects.
