390,xxx Mile Marker, and Water Pump Comparison

[mushroom_toy]

Here are some pics after I hit 390,xxx...well 100 miles later lol. Also a few pics of my front interior..I will be posting pics of whole interior later on, cause I know I haven't even posted any. And finally a comparison of the original waterpump(390,000 miles + 21 years) and the new one I put in to remedy my coolant leak.

Wow. Look at how the blades are so much smaller, due to corrosion.

My blades are even bigger than his new one. I have the original Honda one so that's why most likely.

[Civic Accord Honda]

very nice

[2ndGenGuy]

That must be why they make them so thick. I can't imagine the thickness of it doing anything else. I'm blown away your water pump lasted that long!!! I just put a new pump in my car last night, it was in there about 120,000 miles and went bad. I bet your new one is a lot quieter!

[redaztec]

Very impressive! Has your engine been rebuilt or is most/all of it original too?

[LX-incredible]

That old pump doesn't look like the original. The honda ones have stamped blades, not cast.

^Yeah Mine isn't Honda Oem, it's a new waterpump from Slacks(Napa).

^I didn't really have any problem with it making noise till right before I replaced it when the gasket died, and the weep hole started leaking.

^Engine has never been rebuilt. Has a lot of new seals and basic maintenance done, alone with new water pum, timing belt, etc. etc. Only major part replace was the tranny was rebuilt a pretty long time ago before we got it.

The old one isn't original then...

[mushroom_toy]

^Well I don't have a record of it ever being replaced, and I have all major record for this car, theres no record on carfax report either. So unless it was replaced and not recorded then it is the original. I'm pretty sure it was original, it was an OMB or OMG Japan stamped piece.

[mushroom_toy]

The old one isn't original then...

^No dude, the one I put in(one I replaced) is a new pump from Slacks(Napa).

[MessyHonda]

yeah....i dont think that is the original one. with all thoes miles it must of been reaplced. i replaced mine at 136k when i did my timing belt.

[russiankid]

^No dude, the one I put in(one I replaced) is a new pump from Slacks(Napa).

I am talking about the one you claim is 390k miles old. The Honda pump i have looks completely different from the one you claim is still original.

[mushroom_toy]

^Oh well I don't have proof if it being a replacement or an original, but all in all it doesn't matter to me, because my water pump work now and it's new.

I am amazed at the cast iron impellers on a water pump, that is heavyduty and not something I see alot on USDM.

Mushroom_toy you must be a crazy driver, look at the floorboard on the passenger side where they have been trying to put on the brakes

Agreed. I don't worry about my car overheating after putting a Honda pump and stat in. Runs nice and cool

About what temp does yours sit at, or actually what temp does everyones sit at? Mine sits about 1/4th of the way and rarely moves past that now.
