If you change the water pump, make sure it has metal teeth not plastic dude

New ones are made of a different composite so aren't as fragile as the old type. I'd rather the impellor break off than a metal one seize, I've repaired the damage that it can cause and it's not pretty

sweet! learn something everyday!
