Water pumps. Which one would you buy?
Ignore the rust on the left. That'* 6 months new stored in my garage.
Left pump was $26. Right pump was $29.
Left is NEW. Stamped "GMB Japan" on the housing and shaft.
Right is NEW. AC Delco. Rock Auto was the vendor.
You be the judge.

I installed a pump like the left and it failed again within a week. Started makin' bad noise.
I say Delco... I assume it would have a warranty?

Haven't we had suspicion that our WP cavitate at higher speeds anyways? Would a 10% underdrive help cooling @ high speeds given the system is in top notch spec otherwise?

Right side. The increased length of the impellor blades will increase flow, The curvature of the blades will reduce cavitation, and the peice is cast versus stamped.

The point being, you get what you pay for. The water pumps pictured here are a good example of what 3 bucks more will do for you.

the one on the right looks like the one i would use.
the shaft is also flush with the center of the blades , and blades looks like it will better coolant flow..........

So did our cars roll off the line with the right one?
Its been too many years and water pumps ago for me to remember accurately, but I think I would noticed this difference back then.
