Subject:      aftermarket part warning ( another one )
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

Hi all, Just wanted to make the List aware of potential problems with some aftermarket 2.1 black water pipes. I recently installed an aftermarket replacement and the fit was terrible at one end. Had to crow bar and muscle it into position at the thermostat housing end connection. This means I literally had to bend it and it wasn't particularly cooperative but I did succeed.I was able to bend it while it was bolted to the water pump side properly. So next time I will check the old and new side by side before installing. I will be p-mailing the vendor to warn them of this issue. Rick
