fixed the water pump! thanks to all who gave advice.
The problem was that someone either drilled a hole in the impeller housing or there was some sort of access hole that had a bung which went missing.
As soon as i plugged it (liquid metal) the pump worked.
Either way, in the process i serviced it all and the amount of water it pumps out of the top of the drive is astonishing.
i will post a video soon showing te water coming back out of the half open drive.
Due to some issues with a filed Intermediate housing and its water jacket, i will be tapping a brake line flared end into the trunion cap on the port side and running the line to spray water on the ball gears.
Otherwise they ge hot and the metal becomes maleable and suffers mis shaping.
