Another Water Pump Question..
I thought I had it fixed but got up this morning to leave for work and noticed antifreeze all over the floor. I have a question I hope I can get an answer for. The new water pump pulley was different than the old meaning the new didn't have the four bolts on the pulley. Would this be newer style water pump and do I need to get the housing and t-stat seperated. And possibly could this by the source of my leak. I have not had a chance to check it because of leaving for work. Any help would be appreciated. Also after checking with part number from where I got it it says housing not included.

Did you use the old t'stat and T'stat cover with the new pump??
The new style oump requires a DIFFERENT T'stat and T'stat cover than was on the original LS1 water pump. Here is a thread that shows the differences in the old vs new pumps.

The old parts will NOT properly seal on the new style pump.
Old style pump was discontinued 10 or 12 years ago so you can no longer get it.......
