rant on rebuild parts
#$%^#
my water pump was replaced last week cause it was leaking through the weap hole. I bought a rebuilt one (most are) instead of paying more for a brand new one.
and now I can't rev past 4-5k under load cause the whole car shakes like hell. it goes away with the fan off. I swaped fans and same thing. I pulled the pulley off last night to relook and everything seems fine. I guess the rebuilt pump is not balenced or the shaft is a bit bent or something... so next week I'll have to change it again after bitching at the store.
pay more and get new stuff!! cause this blows.
