usually about $300 shipped gets you a Koyo. not much extra dough to step up to the plate with the big boys.

My water pump is starting to go, it drips alittle after driving or cooling down. This started at 77k miles or so. Need to get a new one in there asap.

Mine started leaking at around 130,000 or so. 1 new water pump, 3 new belts, 1 bottle of prestone anti-freeze, and 2 hours later she was back on the road.

its a little bit late, but mine wnt out at about 150000, i guess the lil rubber gasket someone mensiond earlier went out, and it costed me my motor, it locked up, but the temp gauge never mover a hair, is it possible the water went out of it fast enough to stop touching the the temp sensor, making stay in one spot. cause after all the heat radiated up to it the gauge moved up, but that was about 30 minutes later.

ohh and I was on a long trip when it died, wasnt doing anything stupid.
