Just before I get it rebuilt...

Any ideas why it\'s gone so soon (in terms of miles), as I know you are careful to warm up / cool down and keep an eye on fluids - think it might be some structural flaw in the housing - or something attacking the seals ?

I know this may sound dafft but whats the possibility those bubbles are just air bubles that were trapped in the system from so many topups? how much smoke do you get out of the back?

and lol "bublebublebuble"

None to be honest..

When changing the water pump we did use tap water, but that was flushed out within 25 miles of us doing it.. Wonder if that was a short enough period to do damage? Wouldn\'t have thought so..

Always warmed and cooled down, and since the water pump failure I\'ve kept an eye on oil/water much more rigorously..

One of those things I guess. The housings were reused at the last rebuild, so they\'ve done a fair few miles. Probably just age on them I guess!

One of those things though.. On the positive note, it\'s a chance for more power as they say

Nah, I got those out before - going around the system and squeezing the pipes etc. Plus that comes out more like big bubbles, rather than small fizzy ones..

I do get smoke on start up too, which dissipates after a short while so guessing it\'s filling the chambers when standing..

And yeah, the commentary.. Watch the vid without sound please..
