Gates 43002 Premium Engine Water Pump

I bought this water pump for my 1974 Jeep CJ5 with the AMC 304 V8. The good part is it fit my Jeep OK, and is working as it should. The bad part is with the item description and shipping. The description says the material is stainless steel. I did not expect that, and the rust on my water pump proved it. The water pump also looked second hand. It was shipped in a manufactures taped up box with no packing to protect it. I noticed the edge on the side that mounts against the engine block was dented and the gasket was in 4 pieces. I was able to file the damage so I could install it, but that should not have been necessary. I should have given it 1 star, but I was able to use it after I purchased a new gasket.

Got it for a 1973 jeep gladiator. Worked the first time.

Comes with the gasket and spacers needed for my application but the pulley shaft didn't fit my OEM water pump pulley all the way flush like it should. I wound up having to modify the pulley by opening up the center hole to fit all flush as intended.

Perfect fit for my 78 Jeep J10 AMC 360. Seems to work great

All good

Works as it should
