[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 232304, member: 6937"] Nice work. As for the cavitation in chop, try a top-loader intake grate, that should help. And as far as a sealant for the pump, I wouldn't use 5200, unless you plan on using some C-4 or dynamite if you ever have to take it loose. Seriously, I'm not kidding. They make something called "Anti-Bond 2015" for removal of 5200, but it only works on EXPOSED surfaces. In a seam, you have to separate the parts in order to get the Anti-Bond in there, and you can't get it to separate to do that, because the bond is so powerful. You'll be very lucky if you don't destroy what you are trying to take apart, if it has been put together with 5200. Save that stuff for PERMANENT uses, never use it for anything that you may have to take apart at some point. A better sealant which is gas and oil resistant, but not permanent like 5200, is Permatex RTV Ultra Black. This is what I used on my pump, and it's what PWC mechanics use when they install pumps on jet skis. If you ever need to remove it, use Permatex gasket and sealant remover in the spray can. Spray it on the RTV, and it will break it down and make it much easier to remove. [/QUOTE]
