[Shotimes] Water pump replacement question

[Herman Anker]

Ford sells new waterpumps now? A couple of years ago, they were all rebuild. Considering the amount of work you are doing, make shure it is totally "new". The bearings broke on my so called "new" pump after six months, so I went and got an aftermarked part, which was traced backwords to be manufacturer for Ford. Anyways.. I made small wrightup as well, so have a look if u want: http://hanker.tripod.com/waterpump.htm
