Suspect water pump

I see nothing wrong with that water pump. It appears you have blown head gaskets. That is what I would change next.

So the fact it was leaking from the weep hole means nothing? Not even the orange sludge buildup and flattened out coolant seal?

The weap hole is on the back of the front cover. I haven't seen a picture of that. That is not the water pump weep hole on the front cover.

Same white chalky residue, plus water and sludge on the rear cover, i showed the front cover to show that the person who worked on it before me had sealed the weep hole

Did you top off your brake fluid recently? If brake reservoir level is a little bit low, it will trigger the light on hard acceleration.

Nope, brake fluid has been slightly above the max line throughout this whole ordeal

I got it now, sorry i had just woken up when i saw your reply, i get what you’re saying now....so basically after installation even though the keys line up they will eventually drift out of sync with those keys once the engine is running.....is that the gist of it?

Not eventually, but after a single revolution.
