Frodo,
Yes, that was the first time the water pump had been replaced (~204,000 miles). I had to cut the old metal gasket between the collant pump and coolant manifold at the connecting webs before installing the new gasket. For those not familiar with this task, that's the indication of original water pump. I was very impressed that no liquid sealant is used with the new gasket. The new water pump bolted-up easy and most importantly no leaks!
