IDK how you check a water pump shaft to see if it's going to break. I raced for 22 years and helped numerous others and I've never found a way to prevent it.Originally posted by Illtsate32 View PostWeird things, he said the pump broke and threw the belts and fan blade into the radiator...it was same car he ran at i-80 I believe this could be on them not checking everything...

we get it, you think scott schmitt is god and you don't like bobby. enough with $hitting up every post with your lack of knowledge. Tell us how you check to see if a water pump shaft is going to break. For what these things cost there shouldn't be such a thing as running them too hard.Originally posted by t4g2 View PostThis isn't tough luck. It proves lack of preventive maintenance an possibly driver pushing it more than car can handle. At this point you have to look at that.

You took what I said out of context bud. I didnt know the shaft broke apart, I thought maybe since they just put motor in they may not have had all the bolts tight on it or the fan blade bolts tight. And ya t4g2 has finally come out of the closet on his feeling about Bobby, dudes running for executive board president in the 32 hater club, saying he runs a car so hard it blows th motor and breaks water pumps, smh dude dont know chit about a race car...Originally posted by getinit View PostIDK how you check a water pump shaft to see if it's going to break.

And right getinit, those things should be pretty much bullet proof unless you redline the motor wayyy past what the builder recommends, (which I dont see how they could) or run it out of water you cant run a motor too hard. Guy is a goofball...

Well shucks, Bloomer brags on the durham ad about running his without water after the water pump fell off the engine. He must not know how to maintain his car either. maybe he's just running it too hard lolOriginally posted by Illtsate32 View PostAnd right getinit, those things should be pretty much bullet proof unless you redline the motor wayyy past what the builder recommends, (which I dont see how they could) or run it out of water you cant run a motor too hard.

This has to be a record breaking year for guys shelling water pumps. Can't ever remember so many failures and not just the 32. Numerous guys have had this problem.Originally posted by getinit View PostIDK how you check a water pump shaft to see if it's going to break.
