[TR] TR4A - Need to replace the water pump

[Alex & Janet Thomson]

When the water pump on our GT6 started leaking, I ordered a pump from our
local NAPA outlet since the car was destined for a trip in two days. Their
price was similar to the Big 3 and more importantly, no leaks or problems
since. Since it was a new unit, there was no core requirement so I have the
old core if I need it.

All,

The water pump bearing starting singing to me recently.
No surprise, as it is one of four components I did not replace or rebuild.

Any recommendations on what to get and who to buy from?
I see both Moss and TRF carry them, some 5-bladed.  Does that extra blade
really make much of a difference?
Would an alloy pump make a difference?

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.



Cheers,
