I thought the screeching was a fan belt when, in reality, it was the chatter of the impeller milling away the engine case. A short time after installing it, I changed the pump whenever I found it to have a lot of shaft play (radial). It never did leak. Once I pulled the defective pump, it was obvious what had gone down. I imagine you should check your water pump for excessive axial float. George |
