That's what I ended up deciding. I just resigned myself to the fact that I'll be buying an oem pump every 60k.Quote:

The lifetime warranty is great, but I'd still be unhappy if I was in Justin's shoes and was out $50 worth of coolant, a pulley, and my time.
Droid X. Tapatalk. Use it.
I moved things around in the garage today so I could park in there for the winter. Cleaning off snow at 6am was getting old.
Guys,
Unfortunately I think I was the cause of my own demise. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it because of the gains and efficiency of the pump. When I first discovered I had a leak, I noticed that my Water Pump Pulley had two of the four screws that were just kinda...there...not torqued down. The imbalance caused the internal seals to wear out at a very rapid pace. I wasn't suspecting this when I attempted the repair over Thanksgiving. The pump hasn't seized, so it's not a bearing issue. And there isn't any chance of catastrophic failure.
Ahhh. I still find it interesting that the guy in the other thread had to have two replaced for a similar issue.Quote:

Btw-- did you ever get an explanation on using the M6 bolt holes?
I have it if you need it as I used them last time around.
Believe you, me, I've tried to talk mom into letting me build an e30 because I don't want to spend anymore money than I have to. She's driven it and knows that the subframe bushings are all worn and the suspension needs replaced. It's a 13 year old car, but the mileage is only 116k...
'69 - More sanding and self-etching primer, got the slave cylinder out. Pics later
'05 - bought gas
That was basically what I bought my car with :biggrinQuote:

Thanks to aurelius who taught me how to change motor/diff/tranny oils today. Much appreciated.
