Quick water pump question

Recommended Posts

Yes - the drain is there to show a leak in the bearing seal and prevent a pressure build up that could pop the bearing seal out - these pumps are one of the crappiest I’ve seen and only last 100000 miles - change them before this mileage .

 

By crappy, 1 they don’t last ,2 any overtight belt /too short belt and the housing cracks , the bolt layout is crap , and I had jag pumps from 1962 work as new and you can balance them !!

There are two different impeller materials - the non metallic ones supposed to be better , oem and non oem castings seem to be the same poor level

Cheap enough , just replace at around 70 k along with the alternator (another rare poor quality Toyota thing)
