If it is out then I would, my next pump will be pinned and welded, cheap insurance unless you like replacing your water pump if it spins out.


Ok
I'm selling a brand new SoCal Tig Welded water pump.
Reasonable offers only please.

I'm curious who did the machine work? We still don't run fire rings, so I was curious what the rings cost and what kind of gasket you used and the cost of that also??

Thanks.

I'm just wondering why??

As it is mines over 800 hp sees over 80psi using pos arps. Not a gasket issue to date. Just rolled 10k miles on the motor

I assumed you knew why. I'm not going to call and waste Guy's time with something that in my case is not a concern.

I was just curious, that's all

I'm sure you can get away without it but it's just "extra protection" against high cylinder pressure. I guess I have a little more peace of mind and hopefully and more reliable all around engine that will hopefully hold more than a standard gasket.

Out and about
Protection

I hear ya in wanting more protection, I've been second guessing my build the whole time thinking if it's enough....
