Hey all,

I need to replace the water pump on my girlfriends 87 prelude. After
checking prices at Honda ($80),
and looking at what this car is worth to her, I
am thinking of going to an aftermarket pump. (half that price or less if I
go to Ebay)

Anyone wanna try and talk me out of it? Smile

Also, whats the diff between a cast iron and an aluminum pump?

The aftermarket brand that you should look for is called Paraut. One can
usually be had for around $50 or so. These pumps have a reputation of being
better than the Honda OE pumps with respect to seal seepage.

One is made of cast iron, and the other one is made of aluminum.

I shoulda mentioned, the claim on the Ebay ad
was that the aluminum provided 25% better flow.
Any truth to that?

I have purchased items on ebay and have had good success. The only bad
experience was when a hard drive that I ordered would not work in my
Macintosh computer. I was able to get my money back. So my advice is to
buy the after-market water pump. It's my guess that it will work just
fine.
