Default LS4 water pump problems??

Hello I did an engine swap and installed a LS4 5.3 into my
Superleggera kit car (muricelago) I had the water pump go out I wanted to see if anyone has had any water pump issues. I did use a large custom buit radiator and maybee it is to large for the stock LS4 pump to handle. any help would be great.
Here is a link to the car pics if you want to see it.
cut and paste for a complete build up.

My water pump went out and had to be replaced at about 80,000 miles.

I second this! Nice ride. Sorry I don't know about any issues with the water pump. However, some videos of your car would be nice to see. =)

There costly about $250. I love the cars color I just think they needed to give the engine more detail like I did.

Your sort of engine detail belongs in a car like that.

Default Water Pump

I just replaced my water pump last week at 92k miles. Expensive booger. I have another one that I bought used but didn't count on the fact that the gaskets I got from the parts house were wrong. No one had any in Houston. I had to buy a new one from GM to get the new pump and gaskets.
