Do you have antifreeze installed ?
Antifreeze also contains the lube for the seals in it along with other properties ......
Could be a bad pump seal.....could also be the pump touching as you said........nothing should be rubbing or touching inside of the pump.
Have you got any farther along with this yet ?Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)

My first thought is that when you crank down the water pump bolts, you are pressing the rear of the pump into that fosdick offshore cover and either warping the housing or pressing the rear plate into the impeller. Remove the cover, throw it over the fence and install a gennie Chevy cover.
Never, ever, ever, never, never have I ever seen any of those offshore chrome pieces of any description work like you want them to. The chromed oil pans are the worst. They're Chinese junk, plain and simple. JUNK, JUNK, JUNK.Last edited by techinspector1; 08-24-2010 at 02:53 PM.
