Default Powder coating water pump

He who says it can't be done knows not of which they speak. I stripped mine down to everything short of the bull nose pulley and PC the water pump TWICE.. No leaks ladies.

That is all.

Tools AND fabrication dumb ****.
How is a powdercoated waterpump a tool or fabricated ****?

So by your logic, if I paint my wheels I should post about them in this section?

Sorry for the crappy pictures. My phone was dirty from all the fabrication that was taking place.

Yes it's called the Gen III/Gen IV "external" section. You know, for non-fabricated parts that are on the outside of the engine.

Unless you fabricated the waterpump yourself out of raw aluminum or you can use the waterpump as some sort of tool, it does not belong in the "tool or fabrication" section. Not my opinion, just facts that any person with the reading comprehension of a 3rd grader should be able to figure out on their own.

Actually you see that aluminum ring behind the thermostat? I machined that to position the neck in any direction I so choose. So there it is, fabrication. But I will go ahead and post it there too.

Yeah I clearly know nothing about fabrication nothing at all. I'm sorry I spend my time in the go fast sections as apposed to look at my shiny crap. Like I said I figured people who spend time here would have found it interesting. Guess not, sorry I got your panties bunched up.
