Buying a used water pump: what to check
- Inspect weep hole for coolant stain trails: Check the bottom housing weep hole for wet coolant leaks, green crust, or rust trails indicating shaft seal failure.
- Verify shaft bearing play and impeller rotation: Spin the pulley hub by hand to feel for gritty bearing movement, radial shaft wobble, or binding impellers.
- Check impeller blade material and condition: Inspect plastic or stamped metal impeller vanes for cavitation erosion, broken fins, or loose press-fit hubs.
- Confirm housing mounting flange flatness: Verify that aluminum mating flanges are free of deep gouges, corrosion pits, or cracked bolt holes.
- Install a new gasket and flush system coolant: Clean block mating surfaces thoroughly and refill with fresh manufacturer-approved coolant during installation.
