I heard something about water pumps failing prematurely? When I dropped it in I replaced intake and valve cover gaskets, as well as the O-rings around the intake area. The pan was changed so the pick up got a new seal.

What is the oil pump O ring thing?
Sounds like you got your bases mostly covered. The o-ring that qwik mentioned is the oil pump pickup seal (o-ring) that is at the connection of the pickup and oil pump just behind the timing cover...which is sounds like you already replaced.
