If you only feed the water from one side, it will not get where it

A dry water pump self destructs in seconds......

Amen. If you have run one dry for more than a few seconds, it needs to
be replaced, even if it appears to still be pumping afterwards. It has
been damaged and will fail without further warning.



Hey! It's only about $11,000 to replace the engine. What the hell.

I just replaced the engine on a Lincoln Navigator for half that. Four
cams, 32 valve 330 CID, 300 horse. Same specific output as a 57 chevy.

Speaking of Navigators, my son-in-law's just died. It used to be my wife's
and she gave it to him when she bought a new one.

Only 75k miles and the head gasket let go on one side of the engine, causing
some other damage in three cylinders. That's not a lot of miles to have
that kind of a failure.

He was quoted a minimum of $3k to fix it. Traded it instead for a PU
truck.
