Subject:Water pump premature failure
From:Geza Polony

Folks,

I'm thinking that a warped crankshaft pulley is causing premature failure of
my water pumps, which only seem to last around 15K miles or so before they
start screeching at me. Has anybody dealt with this before? Is it a real
nightmare to change the drive pulley in the car, with that 258 ft.lbs of
torque Bentley calls for? How do these things get warped to begin with?

Thanks--
