Go to the pool supply aisle of any major retailer and, if they stock the tabs on flat metal or wire shelving, you'll find it rusted to gently caress wherever the coating has worn off.

See the water pump in the back? The previous owner of my 4Runner was too cheap to buy antifreeze so he just used tap water. The blades of the impeller eventually corroded to the point they they left the pump.

Worked out for me, I bought the truck for $1k.

I cant recall ever seeing a cast O Ring gland, is that groove just a locating/holding feature for the gasket? The dimensions of the casting seem pretty risky, impressive.

That just keeps the gasket in place/centered.

My Audi waterpumps also have a casting groove for the o-ring to seal.

Why does Toyota love drawing penises on their water pumps?


I mean I know why, but it’s funny.

My dogs do that dance when they're about to get a treat. Haven't seen a car do it before.

That is quite a laugh...

I've been to a ton of dealerships/service centers/repair shops...whatever...

And I'll leave out the Indie type mechanics that specializes, has the concrete block walls, a computer system from Soviet Russia generating invoices on tri-carboned paper from a dot matrix printer yet has a few million worth of cars in the bays.

It is either a marbled palace or a shithole at big dealerships. There is no in-between. You are either experiencing marble with a Keurig or smelling gas/oil/Napa type store smells.

Wow. Love the inclusion of a mild steel bracket and cheese grade bolts into this abortion.
