I have an edelbrock water pump and the damn back gasket has blown for the second time now. What is a good water pump to get that will last?
Any help will be great
Thanks Albert

maybe you need to use a little more sealant? on both sides of the paper gasket? I like to run real heavy beads of silicone around the water passages (2) and then a decent bead around the block/pump area.

problem probably isn't the pump, unless the metal backing of the pump has exploded or something [Wink]
