Last fall I changed my merch. seal, bearing, oil seal, impeller, gaskets 2 O rings at the top of the cover. All went well until today. I started my beast and a few drops came out the round hole just prior to 3 bars. I took my time doing the work and I'm pretty mechanically inclined. I have the correct distance (24mm) at the impeller end
The only thing I might have had problems with was the ceramic/mechanical mating. I left the completely dry when I installed the impeller
Does anyone know if I should have put antifreeze or oil on the mating surfaces to prevent dry start?
