Apollard - The bolts on my pump weren't tight at all. I took it apart and cleaned and checked everything, Then I used green lock tight when I put the bolts back on. The bolts won't come back out but IF the engine comes back apart a complete new pump will go back in.

Yep, I do that now. So much for buying tried and true American parts. Now you have to check them also.
