Stephen:
New ones are about $70. You can check to see if you can get a
rebuilt one for less.
Napa, or another auto parts store might be able to get you one for a
decent price. The
one listed on eBay includes the housing and temperature sender. Since it
is of unknown
mileage it really isn't good for much except a core. Call a couple of
local auto parts
stores an see what they can do.
More likely, you will need to send yours out for a rebuild if
you wish to use
a rebuilt one. They are rebuildable (according to British Auto Works, my
local LBC
shop). There is one bearing and one seal that gets replaced when they
are rebuilt.
You could do it yourself except you need a press to disassemble it. I
don't know
what the going rate is for a rebuilt pump, so I can't say how attractive
an alternative
it might be.
FYI, I just bought a new one when I rebuilt my motor. I went a
little crazy and
replaced the oil pump with a new one as well. Ca-ching!

Subject: Water Pump
I am looking for recommendations on replacing my water pump. Should I
look
into a used item, as listed below, or just purchase a new one? BTW, can
it
be rebuilt and if so would it be cost effective?
