Did you just put petroleum jelly on that rubber water pump seal?

[@RavenRestoProjects]

Hey @cloudoftime thanks for the comment, yeah it is and yip you are absolutely correct to pull me up on this after doing a bit of research you shouldn't use this on normal rubber seals, it's an old school mechanics trick and my dad is old school 🤣 , in his defence though most rubber seals in engines are made to withstand any kind of perishing from petroleum etc but you are 100% correct , I can only learn from others , much appreciated 😜

I bet that car would have started without doing all that work.
A new battery and fresh gas and that would have made you look more like a proficient mechanic and not a wanna be.
