Re: [DML] Powder coating back of water pump?





I powdercoated the front and back of mine, along with the thermostat
housing :)  No leaks at all.  I also replaced the gasket while I was
in there.  It's kind of interesting...I remember one of the original
DeLorean brochures I saw once that showed the engine out of the car,
and the crank pulley, a/c pulley, and water pump pulley were black. 
It looked cool.
