Ok so I recently purchased a built s13 sr20 that (from what the previous owner says) has been freshly rebuilt. With only idle time ran on it. I was changing the water pump since he included a new water pump (assuming he just never got to it himself) and when I busted the water pump off I see this (pic at the bottom) well my question is I know it doesn't look fresh but will this complicate the new water pump I am installing? Thanks in advance for any help. 52357

Just looks like corrosion? I don't see how much it'll impact the performance of the new water pump.

There's really nothing you can do about it since its part of the block.

Don't worry, I agree with x88, it won't impact the performance of a new water pump.
