Good for you, I hope you didn't order a rebuilt water-pump, sellers always
lie to you about their parts meeting the oem spec. I went through Schuck's
whole inventory, they have the same terrible frictions on their
water-pumps. Be sure you can turn the rotor of a water-punmp up to 18
turns. 3 turns is not acceptible. At Optimum Fuel Systems, we find
problems like this for people, people who don't understand us call us
"snake oil", that's why we can improve the car's performance substantially.
