I have heard a lot of "pro" and some "con" about Skip's pumps, any one got any actual on the road experience, that may be helpful to folks contemplating getting these rather expensive pumps, most people say that installing them has made their V-12's run up to 25% cooler, others say there was no difference, a few say their cars ran hotter with them, I know we aren't Packards here, but "ask the man owns one" makes a lot of sense on this issue, I think-

skip did both water pumps on my 41. they work great. he also found a hairline crack in one which i wasnt aware of and he welded it up with no problem. he pressure tests them after rebuild. i was very pleased. david

Would it Be Advisable to use 85/90 gear Oil in The water Pump Reservior

or A Synthetic Gear Gear Oil...??

The lube specs From the Lincoln owner's manual say fill with engine oil every 5000 miles.
