Consumer Description

THE WATER PUMP IMPELLER WAS MADE OF PLASTIC AND BROKE UP INTO PIECES CAUSING $2000 IN DAMAGE, BECAUSE THE RESULTING OVERHEATED ENGINE WARPED THE VALVE HEADS. THE CAR NEED TO HAVE THE HEAD REMILLED AND NEW MULTIPLE GASKETS. THE WATER PUMP IMPLELLER IN MY OPINION SHOULD NEVER HAD BEEN MADE OF PLASTIC AND WAS APPARENTLY DEFECTIVE.
