Red face Feel like a bonehead.....

Well my buddy and I did the water pump and the electric fan yesterday. I swear we turn a 2-3 hour project into a 10 hour project everytime with this car! Put the waterpump on, got the fan installed, and started to fill the radiator with antifreeze and water. All of a sudden water is pouring out of the back of the pump. Took off the pump, messed with it some more, put it back on, and bam water leaking out the back. COuldn't figure it out. Turns out we forgot to use the pump to plate gasket. well meanwhile we trashed both gaskets. I assume I can call Stewart Water Pumps and have them send me 2 more gaskets? Ended up having to put the stock pump back on. We had fun, just feel like a couple of boneheads. Thanks for those who gave advice before we started this.
