Re: [Chevelle-list] chrome water pump

As far as Chrome water pumps go they are not junk unless you get a rebuilt one that is done with an inferior seal. Many chrome parts on a motor can and will leak after a period of time or even upon installation if not install properly for example over torquing the bolts and crushing the gasket. Chrome water pumps are a little different as they start life as a standard cast water pump as would have originally come from the factory. Many other chrome parts such a s timing covers and valve covers use very cheap and thin metal as the base for there chrome product which makes them prone to oil problems.      Ken
