Car (on Topic) question. Those of you who have had waterpumps fail:
Metal or plastic impeller?
What was the cause of failure?
how many miles on your waterpump before the failure?
*doing a bit of research to replace mine, thanks!

I was gonna ask you about that, when we were cleaning up i noticed the
brand new belt in the box and i was just curious why it wasn't put on... then i realized you probably left the old one on around the cams and crank so you didn't skip any teeth due to the lack of a cam lock bar... let me know... and i marked down the 10th for the odder ting

I doubt it is the heat that is causing failure
more likely seals failed and let the watter into bearings.. coolant doesn't get that hot unless you thermostat gets stuck closed...
