I've just done a water pump change on my 89 Esprit with the engine in the car. I had my pump rebuilt and pressure tested by PNM Parts in the UK (as I'm in the UK), their turnaround was just a few days. I went this route because it's such a mare getting it out that I didn't mind spending the extra for their service with a test and a guarantee.
Would just get one from Jensen Healey already rebuilt. Straight exchange

We did the water pump also with the engine in the car....what a bear of a job. Getting the bearings in was difficult also.
