    Water Pumps- Welded/ Pinned or No?

    I have ran a MA welded water pump for 4 years running at 4500 rpms in a 900hp truck. It gave up the ghost this past winter during a sled pull.

    Hsp billet front cover

    I see I will have a few issues to take care on the water pump. Since I still run turbo in valley I will have to come up with a way to run coolant to the turbo.

    Hsp billet front cover

    Has anyone got pictures of it on the motor with water pump other than the hsp pic?. I really want to do this setup but would like to see or hear about some of the issues with it using the water pump. Other than the reverse rotation cp3 pumps with else is needed to make it work?

    5.7l vortec random misfire

    I finally got around to messing with it again. This time I checked the temps of each cylinder idling and after W.O.T. while idling the temps ranged from 113 degrees to around 375 degrees.

    5.7l vortec random misfire

    Sometimes the whole vehicle is hucking and bucking when it is doing it. And it has a bad vibration that you feel thru the whole vehicle. I will try the water on exhaust trick.

    5.7l vortec random misfire

    just for laughs I checked the compression on it last night. Cylinder 1 and 3 and 4 never showed any compression. I tried three different gauges and all three of them showed nothing. even drove down the road to warm up engine. check number one again and still nothing.

    New Duramax owner loosing coolant

    new cups come with the two O-rings to seal them. I would replace the O-rings on the injectors just to be on the safe side.
