Welcome back!

We drive a 1993 Chevy Cavalier station wagon. It has an engine in it from a different car.

Water pump is not co-operative. So, we need to replace it. Well, here is where the fun begins. The engine in it is not the same model as what it came with originally. OOPS

Calling the parts stores I didn’t know this. I got a few prices. Some were for new parts, others for rebuilt. Then I found out that the engine wasn’t the 2.2 liter 16 valve engine I thought it was. It is a 2.0 liter 65 valve engine. Throw out the former lists and start over again. Guessing what was in our nice little car was fun - not. We finally ended up going to the parts store and lifting the hood to compare photos of what was available with what was needed.

We now have a re-engineered water pump with a lifetime warranty. Hope it fits. :}
