Re: chrome water pump
over the years i've used a few chrome water pumps with no real problems other than the effort to keep them clean

Re: chrome water pump
I would think if that were true Summit would quit selling 'em. I think it's a fairy tale

Re: chrome water pump
some of the Chrome pumps have been known to leak at the gasket mating surface for 2 reasons. First the chrome doesn't seal well to the gasket. Second at times the water leaks between the chrome and the housing...it just creaps under and then slips by the gasket. I have seen this on chrome water outlets too.
