engine and drivetrain Status of Water Pumps

[COOP]

Le Tran (2002 Garage Werks) has a stash of NOS tii water pumps. He bought 19 of them years ago for customer builds. He told me that he is not in the parts sales business but would "let one go" for $700. I declined. I need a spare for my '72 but am hoping that BMW will soon reissue this part which lists for about $260 (a moot point of course because it is not currently available).

What is the shelf life of a spare water pump?  If kept in a cool, dry basement in the box with some anti-tarnish paper will they last indefinitely?  I wondered about the bearing.

OCT 2009:  ordered a remanufactured WP from Cardone Industries.  Sat on a shelf in the garage for 4 years.  Installed it in OCT 2013, no problems at all.

 

Cheers,

Aren't you supposed to change the oil pump at the same time?
