    Squealing after impeller change

    It looks like I might just be an idiot after all of that. I decided I wanted to put the RWP back on and test without the belt on. As I was reassembling the pump on my work bench, I noticed a pancaked O-ring on the manifold. I remember not being able to find the old one when I replaced the...
