I wish I knew myself before my overheating probs with the failed first gen water pumps from toyota. Once the new pump was in the engine would work really well when it comes to heating and cooling.

Pros: engine would work well

Cons: overheating probs

Pros: bearing was good

Cons: leaking at the gasket

The Saleri started leaking at the shaft so it wasn't an issue with the gasket. The Saleri had a plastic impeller while the OE had a metal impeller.

Pros: metal impeller OE

Cons: plastic impeller, leaking shaft
