Well Ive been putting together and taking appart my engine for about 3 months now. Including interior and seat replacement but I did a cam swap and most of the engine parts, it ran fine when I did my cam break in, but then it started leaking out of a strange area, coolant radiator fluid, it looked to be on the passenger side lower bolt of the waterpump really close to the timing chain cover, I just put everything back on and it still leaks! I didnt even fire it up. It looked just like my old model, this is a kragen rebuilt waterpump. And the block doesnt have any cracks in it, I dont know whats going on with this. Maybe the pump is crap?

i've never had good luck w/ kragen parts...on my jeep went through 3 alternators and 2 starters. (And yes, they were faulty parts upon their own inspection.)

Yeah Ive had bad luck lately with stuff like this, starters, alternators, and apparently waterpumps arent good to buy remanufactured, im sure some good parts sling through but eh, and alternators I went through so many of the stock ones, I converted to the self regulated 105 AMP smile.gif that problem was solved! But for the waterpump..... off it comes tommorow, maybe ill try to afford a nice performer one, any reccomends? :cool:
