I'm putting the engine back after replacing main and big-end bearings. After putting the old water pump back, i was in the process of putting the fan belt back on, but found that i couldn't turn the water pump by hand.
I don't recall if the water pump should turn by hand with the fan belt off, and dry. Sorry if this is a stupid question, but would it normally, or is it bound up? The only difference is that there's a new gasket and some permatex but if anything that would make the impellers further from the housing not closer.
