mikey boy Member M Joined: May 2000 Posts: 1,681 DeKalb IL	yeah look at this: you can clearly see the cracks and material missing that was the result of the waterpump failing. the impellar also spun independent of the pulley. i really think it is your waterpump. you want a new one with the metal impellar. peace. thanks for the compliments. you can get a front bumper just like mine from chris hightower. 95 contour se, lots of mods. http://www.contour.org/carprofile/carprofile.cgi?a=display&uid=00000132
