The 582 has the same type water shaft seal as the 618. Some kind of
ceramic set up I am told.

I have never had one out of a 618 or the new blue head for that matter.

The blue head does have the different cooling system which bypasses the
radiator for fast warmups and full flow through the radiator when the
temps start getting above 140 or so.

I install a big radiator and let the proportioning valve control the
temps. There is also full water flow at all times so no hot spots
either.
