for $212 brand new complete unit, no core, are these reliable?













i got started on it today but havent installed it so let me know if its junk. its from oriellys special order. i could see bearings on my water pump shaft and it looked like a bunch were missing so i bought a reman pump and when i got it home i noticed the mounting surfaced was nasty pitted, forgot the damn reciept in the store too but im gunna swap it tomorrow or raise hell till i get one. its junk


.

i still have to remove the balancer, i have a puller not a 3 jaw, it should work but shobox shows a 3 jaw puller so is there a reason for that instead of a reg balancer puller.
my ground strap melted a hole in my air pump so thats not going back in. but will the car run right with out it? i plan on longtubes next paycheck so no air crap would be there.

 

wow i cant believe they rebuilt that pump. yah get a different one.
i always use a regular three bolt balance puller and have not had any problems.
my air pump would throw a code if i umplugged it but if the fuse was pulled it would not. only time it comes on is at warmup so you should not have issues with not having it.

 

I just tapped my lower pulley off with a block of wood and hammer from under the car. The pulley slips right back on with ease, once all the built up rust and crud is cleaned off it and the hub. And yeah, nice looking piece of crap water pump.

 

I work at O'Reilly's and I so far have never seen a Richporter Distributor come back for any reason. I sell quite a few for hondas, since it is only a few $$$ more than the ignighter and comes with a lifetime warranty and the ignighter. As for the waterpumps... see if we have the new one available, they are, well, brand new not rebuilt.
