Durable BB Water Pump? 74.

I have read that GMB is not good, now I am readin milidon is all over the place. There seems to be no consistency so far in this thread on reliability of a particular brand. I will keep waiting for more feedback. I am not starting (firing) this engine for a few weeks yet.

Exactly how much consistency are you looking for? You've only received a handful of replies. Is this thing going to be buried in a dump truck where you have to pull the cab or something? You can probably buy an over the counter lifetime warranty pump from napa or O'Reilly and be well served.
