Got a brand new water pump from O'Reilly and we'll see how it goes when I start her up. I am letting the RTV set for a bit right now.

I'll crank her up and give her a short spin tonight, and I'll post some pics that I have.

Here are the pics.

You can see the problem with the hub, on the old water pump, pretty easily in the attached photograph. Rediculous....I can't believe the reman water pump I bought didn't get caught at quality testing. Someone must have been feeling lazy that day I suppose.

The new pump is great, and the engine runs very smooth without all of that pulley vibration. The new pump had a much better cut on the impeller too, compared to the other one. The impeller on the other one was ***.

Now, for the pics!
