"I have 1988 merc. 5.7L 260hp Alpha 1 - I have replaced the water pump and I have tried to reinstall it, but it seems like the shaft is not lined up. I made sure that it is in forward gear and I have turning the shaft but I could not get it lined. then after a hour I put it away till I cooled off. and the temp. was lower also. thanks for help"
