Water Pump

[Don W.]

After first day of '08 racing tomorrow (Mon.) it's finally time for a new water pump. Not a serious leak but the top vent hole is all corroded and I'm loosing a little water every time I drive it. Looks like a fairly straightforward install. Will try to post some pics. Will prolly have the rad cleaned while I'm at it. Any cautions here I need to know? Hoses are fairly new so OK there. I have a new t-stat as well. This pump http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/PROCOMP-LONG-LATE-ALUMINUM-HV-WATER-PUMP-CHEVY-305-350_W0QQitemZ230214520396QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item230214520396

I personally stay away from the ProComp product line because I don't like to support Chinese knock off stealing.

Re: Water Pump

I already own the pump in question and nowhere on it does it say where it was made. USA or China. It will go on and I'll see what happens. I may have misled you. Here is the actual pump I purchased. I've emailed the supplier and will let you know what he says.

Re: Water Pump

OK pump is off and that darn infamous slipping dampener is staring me in the face. It's very difficult to do a TDC check with everything on the motor but when I did it it looked good. Question is do I go ahead and change it now and if I do can the front seal be changed with the cover on the truck? I don't want to open a can of worms here. No evidence of the seal leaking but I'd hate to change the dampener and not the seal.

If I do change the dampener which one do I get?

TIA
