Water necks leak on all of them. Use some pipe dope and tighten it pretty good and problem solved.

I dont think some pipe dope will fix the filler necks, they leak at the angle where the neck meets the base. bad epoxy was used on the insides, not my words CSR's words. There is no thread to put pipe dope on not sure if your fimilar with them or not ???
ops: I was doing three things at once when I posted my reply. For some reason I was stuck on the water pump and was thinking about the bottom radiator fitting when I said that. They all leak and that's all I had on my mind. ops: I know what you mean about feeling burnt on a product or by product support. I've never had any issues with CSR and they are the most popular electric pump that I see being used.

I was fully ready to ship it and pay for them to fix it, didnt want it done for free.
Here is the Pro Comp, they look just like a Meziere to me. I did a lot of research and found many happy people with them. It was worth a shot for around $115.00 to my door.

That looks just like my CSR. Well at least I know I have other options when mine quits and cheaper too.
