Thanks. I built my own leak tester let me know if you'd like to borrow it and ill send it out.

Pmcg:
I installed a new water pump seal in the clutch cover and as a bit surprised at how hard it was to turn the water pump spur gear. It's pretty straight forward don't think it possible to mess up but I'm a bit worried it will get hot and melt the seal. Any experience with these?  Thanks Pat. 

Pmcg:
Almost tackled the UPS guy today

Oh yeah... I pulled my MZB out of the box...
I'm ready to install mine next week.
Did you talk to Alex about what to watch for?

On the pump, it should not be too tight.
Did you lube the seal lip when you installed?

Pmcg:
I spoke with Alex but don't remember any specific things to watch for.  Anything I need to look out for? Also no lube on the seal. I figured coolant and case oil would keep it spinning.
