Other than my water pump impellers imploding the other day it's great. The machining on the side where the core is welded in leaves a little to be desired. I personally think it could be milled a little better than it is and the gentleman that bought my buddy's LP intercooler also noted that and noted the fact that he had to slather on the "make-a-gasket" to get it to seal.

Other than that my onlt quivel is that the core is not easily replaced, not that I plan on failure.

For the price you can't beat it.

Ron, I'm hesitant to blame the pump as of yet since I was initially having some problems with air in the system and I'm sure the pump was run dry one or two times. There were little rubber crumbs in there when I pulled it apart and one of the impeller blades had broken off.

I suspect it was the running it dry that caused the problem. I replaced the impeller with the one from the other pump that I fried after 45 minutes and all appears to be well.

Poor Royal was over at my house when I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why the pump was making noise but nothing was going anywhere.

Yeah, air in the system will really hammer the impeller. I'll keep an eye on it though.

I forgot to ask, you using a 50/50 mix or straight water? You need the coolant in there to lubricate, or you need to add WP lubricant.

I'm running water/ water wetter. I will be switching to a standard 50/ 50 coolant mic however.
