Water pump break-in needed?

["Jeff Tedder" <jtedder68@cox.net>]

List,



I seem to recall hearing at some point in the past that the water pumps for
TR4-6 may have needed a break-in period for the bearings, with the break-in
period consisting of running the pump with no water in it (obviously not for
a long period).  Anyone care to comment on whether or not this is needed?  I
say no, that maybe this had to do with older bearings or something, but not
anymore.  Opinions/comments?



Thanks,



Jeff
