Motorcraft Water Pumps are engineered to provide original equipment performance and reliability. All Motorcraft Water Pump designs undergo rigorous lab and real world tests in order to meet Ford engineering standards.Features & Benefits:- Press tubes are coated with nickel zinc for better housing connection and corrosion resistance
- Powdered metallic hub mating surfaces help provide superior alignment for smooth operation
- A robust impeller design is engineered to optimize performance
- Contains precision ground bearings to help provide long life and efficient performance
- Bearing housing meets original equipment load requirements and includes full length ribs for added stability
- Bearings are locked into place to minimize fan load vibration and help ensure long term alignment and reliability
- Latest advances in seal and bearing technology are incorporated
Every belt driven water pump has a weep hole that might leak a little in the beginning. Some seepage from the weep hole is normal during the break-in period (about 10 minutes), and does not indicate a defect.
