Great Water Pump for Automotive Use

This replacement water pump works like a charm in my car.As my tests showed, it keeps the engine at a consistently cool temperature which is important for the overall longevity of the vehicle. The installation process was straightforward, and the part has been durable so far. However, the price point is slightly higher than some competitors. Overall, I am very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable water pump for their automotive needs..

Pros
  • Consistently keeps engine cool
Cons
  • Slightly higher price point

The pump smelled like cheap motor oil to prevent rust

Ugh! Made in China ! Gates right?!? I bought this pump because of Gates' reputation for quality and American made products. I don't think anymore The pump smelled of cheap machine oil used as a rust inhibitor. The cast iron body is NOT painted as shown in the product photo. Cheap fasteners and very poor countersinking to the baseplate. To be honest it looked like it was handmade. If you have an early Land Cruiser 3.9, do yourself a favor and buy a Japanese GMB. Returned immediately.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
