1980 900T water pump Posted by Nick [Email] ![]() ![]() |
Hey guys,
About two months ago the original water pump went out, so I had it replaced. After looking at the old one the only visible fault was the seals. A week later, the second pump failed. Mechanic said it must have been defective as the whole inside was shredded. Third pump put in and now a month later it has failed too. Was running smooth at about 70mph on freeway and then heard a pop and instantly temp. guage started going up. So, now it's at a friend's house @45 miles away from a shop.
Any ideas why the pump keeps going out? You B motor guys know this pump is in the block and is a pain to change, but why did the first one last 195,000 miles and then the two new ones only a few weeks? Everything else in the cooling system is in good shape.
Thanks,
Nick
