Look ma, no leaks! for engine cooling and air conditioning

Installed about a week ago and driven several hundred kilometers per trip. No leaks and works like a charm. The only difference is that the rounded triangular connector on the one I received was round instead, making it difficult to fit the part around it. This might lead some newbies to believe it won't work. I will not lower the price for it.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Empty

1990 Mazda Miata - Engine Cooling & Air Conditioning

. Works great, looks solid. In the process I cut off one of the water pump bolts, so be careful! Hmm, the water pump center pulley was round while the OEM was like a wavy rotating part. I don't know how to describe it. Rather annoying, I remember he blocked another screw when putting everything back together. Complete with gaskets. I still used the seal from the manufacturer RTV.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • For old 1990 Mazda Miata

Obvious Quality for Pump

The pump was for Mazda Miata. The second time I changed the timing belt, I changed the pump. Comparing the impeller of this pump to the last pump I bought was day and night. The impeller is a one piece casting with complex curves on the blades that simply say "flow". The last consisted of pieces of stainless steel welded together. I'm sure the attention to detail is better on parts that aren't visible (stock). Spend a few more dollars.

Pros
  • Complete Set
Cons
  • Equipment Sad

Not suitable for Miata 1.8L!

I know it was my stupid mistake. Somehow I ordered this for my '94 and didn't realize it was the wrong part until I assembled it (so the pump was already on). The two pumps are identical except that the 1.8L water pump has a tab on the left hand side that the alternator clamp bracket bolts to, while the 1.6L pump does not have this tab. So if you have 1.8, unless you don't plan on removing your generator for some reason, buy Gates 42134 instead. Other than that, it looks like a quality product.

Pros
  • Well built
Cons
  • No
