Message	Ok my water pump just came in this afternoon so as soon as I got home from work I went at it in hopes to drive my Z. Well the front of the engine is all taken apart. I pull off the old pump which appears to be fine. Now I open the new pump and compare. What do you guys think? They are obviously slightly different. Is the old one not OEM? This is the last thing I can change to try and cure my run hot demons but I dont see really how it will make a difference. "torque gets you off the line...& hp gets you over the line." - TTKeeper
