New Water Pump at 650 hours

[bgott]

I remember when the price went nuts on antifreeze because of the plant fire. They got it under control pretty quick, too. That stuff isn't like oil, you can always run water and stick a couple of light bulbs under the hood to keep your engine above freezing. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I ran into a website last night that made the comment that the orange ELC coolant was the cause of a lot of water pump and head gasket failures on overhead cam Ford V-8s. It didn't go into detail and I couldn't link it because of over aggressive Doubleclick pop- ups. Maybe the stuff did help that pump to fail. /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif

"Do any CUTs have "wet sleeve" construction?"

If I understand what "wet sleeve" means, I believe that's what most Yanmars have, and I suppose, also a lot of JD CUTs, with Yanmar engines.
