Slow Going Fall

Fall came and went with us working infrequently on the Triumph and encountering small enough issues that no progress was made (well, some knowledge was built, but no advancements in Triumph repair were made).

An example no progress effort:
When trying to attach the return pipe to the water pump (already attache don the engine), we realized there was some sequencing of installation required to fit the return pipe to the water pump and therefore had to take off the water pump again.  Attempts were made to attach the pipe to the water pump, however the angle of the pipe did not align correctly because a sleeve and adapter fitting that connects the return pipe to the water pump have seized together.  We plan to try torching it this part to see if we can get it  unstuck, but haven't done so yet.

Do not install the water pump without attaching the return pipe to the water pump first.
(Ergo: Do not do what is shown above.)

The return pipe - notice how the end of it is at the wrong angle when fitted into place
