new water pump for nothing!!!

i put on my new water pump and thats not even what it damn was......not to mention i spent about 5 hours pulling my valve covers and sanding them down and polishing them and i get it all back together and what do you know... SQUEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! STILL!!!!!!!!!! if anyone has a power steering pump that doesnt make any noise thats fine with me, name a price!!!

also that bitch of a plug wire in the back on the passenger side is also not hooked up and its grounding against my header and i have to wait til i wake up at 4 to go to work and hook it back up

valve covers look pretty good though except that there is coil packs in the way

holler at ya later!

Just unbolt the coilpack bracket if you need a bit more room.

Ummm, yeah that's what coils do. Clutter stuff up. You can always relocate them. That mod adds a big ZEEERO hp, but sure makes the LS1 look better.

Crummy deal on the wp.

Bro, you're kicking a dead horse. Water pumps don't squeel unless the bearings are bad, and power steering pumps dont squeel either. It's your belt tensioner. Notorious to go bad on LS1's.

Do more research next time before throwing parts at your car
