I have 8 cars here with cracked heads now and resultant intermix, with one more arriving today. Those people would have paid good money to know about the issue that bit them silently.

The main reason for pump failure is people never flush their coolant and the Ph levels kill the impeller blades.
So these water pumps don't leak or squeak or show any signs of imminent failure?
Its just BANG and it roaches your motor in an instant?
