Hello friends,
I just picked up a spare ALH engine from an auto. Engine had 290xxx on it and turns over but locks up. Was told it sat for a while. The pump is still fully plumbed on engine. My questions is: Do I throw the pump on my car and try it or rebuild it as it sits before putting it in my car? I get it could probably use a re seal but the pump shows no signs of leaking. Just don't want to crack into a good pump without trying it. And guidance or past experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks everyone.
