Can a problem in my heating system in any way affect my new water pump? Is it common for a citrus flush to push flaky components over the edge like that?

Not a problem, I think the entire job took about an hour and 1/2. I didn't pull the radiator...although it wouldn't have been that difficult. I placed a piece of cardboard in between the fan and the radiator to protect it. The part that took me the longest was removal of the old hardened gasket. It was really baked on and extremely hardened. I am not sure if someone in this forum has a good procedure for hardened gasket removal? I used a razor blade...very carefully.
