Water pump
I was tinkering around with my stock WP today cleaning it up abit and all for my new motor. I plan on going with a mezier EWP so i took off the cover and noticed that the gear inside did not spin to freely I am just wondering that when i go with an EWP that if i have to remove that stock gear or if i have to still use it. and if so does it sound like I will need to buy a new stock WP just to run an EWP

I don't know why the ewp manufacturers haven't included two freeze plugs instead of just one, but they really should. I bet if you called and asked they might just send you one. Or you can go to the hardware store and buy one for the timing cover. I used to large washers, a bolt and locking washer with some RTV for the timing cover and it works fine. There isn't a lot if any pressure against that spot, so it's not likely to leak. Just clearance everything properly for your timing chain.
