Electric water pump failure... I am doing a rebuild and flirting with the notion of an electric water pump again. My reasoning for keeping the mechanical is to ensure reliability which I still think is valid, there is far less to go wrong.
However I see the benefits of less cam bearing wear, an adjustable double roller timing set and not to mention some extra HP.
I want to hear about electric water pump failures and your guys bad experiences when they do fail so I can make a better informed decision.

I just had one go out. Though it is much easier to replace an electric water pump than the whole pump itself. Took 20 min to replace. Also if your mechanical pump leaks it will leak on your Opti... not a good thing
