The reason for my post is I am trying to get rid of as much of the plastic parts in the engine bay to stop issues down the road.
To this post I am looking for some help with the water pump failure.
So there is a Pump Element and there is the thermostat housing part.
Now Bar Tek make an upgraded water pump which they state "The problem with the series water pumps is that the plastic wheel can come loose from the shaft. As a result of this, the water pump drops completely and the engine gets hot. This can cause critical engine damage!" but to my mind this is not the same as the common issue with the leaking water pump." Now I am happy to replace this element in due time as my engine spends a lot of time on the track.
But I have not yet found a metal replacement for the thermostat housing part.
I have seen a number of "REPAIR KITS" and as I have already had the water pump replaced my question is the leaking part normally the thermostat housing and if so are the new revisions good enough That I don't need to worry about the plastic leaking again.
