Theres one small item I got burned on when I put a new pump on the
replacement engine on my 98. Theres a small o-ring that goes on the
heater return (p/n 4740 906). It's a 60 cent item that most people
forget that might cause a leak (it did in my case).

Theres nothing more sickning than redoing a job over a 60 cent part! :(
