hi there .
my 89 came out from the factory with one water pump seal shaft.
the 91 came out with 2 seals.
can I upgrade my 89 and put 2 w/p seals like in the 91?
thanks a lot

Certainly have. Works like a champ. Check to see if you water pump shaft is grooved as well. If it is your going to have to replace it along with the seals. Its not a bad idea to replace the bearing while your at it as well. Depending on their condition when your remove the side covers your going to need gaskets (water pump, clutch and side cover).

I suppose the shaft should be grooved where the seal lips are on the shaft.

John has the right idea, on my 89 it was quite noticable, you could hook a fingernail on the groove.
