408 was runnin better

That is ******* weird, dude. How old was the pump? Had the belt ever been too tight, even if it wasn't at that time? Maybe the fan wasn't mounted perfectly straight and got out of balance? At 4000 rpm that would create some pretty high torsional stress.

That sucks, though. Kind of an expensive little deal.....

Well, the motor only has a few thousand miles on it and I would say the pump looked pretty new. I can say the fan was mounted right, cause I had already looked at it when I was working on the car. The only reason I had looked at it, was because I noticed after all this engine work, they still had a clutch fan on it. I hate clutch fans and apparently the fan realized I hated it and had to have the last word.

So look at what else was broke when the water pump took a crap.
