New Water pump for 4age

[chaRwie]

I am looking at the costs of building my new engine, May aswell get new oil and water pumps while I am at it. Does anyone know if aftermarket water pumps are any good, or are the risky? It is hard to find a OEM new pump, should I just go with a readily availiable aftermarket pump?

Thanks

You can use a 4ac water pump, virtually the same just that its designed to fit a 4ac timing gear cover. It requires a bit of modification with a file but you only need to shave a few mm off one corner which has no use.

That said I don't think its that hard to find an oem pump, part no. can be found on this site (i think in tech articles).
