Anyone know of anyone that can rebuild one? Mine has been great but suddenly turned into a box of rocks yesterday - figure the bearing is shot. I assume if I can get it disassembled that the bearing could be pressed out/replaced?

Green1 very recently posted on this board he WAS still repairing the electric water pumps. I suggest a PM to him to avoid a cluster F**k of someone piling on for a bash-fest...

Yes please don't start the bully on his pulpit. Good luck.

spend the coin and buy a Meziere, rebuildable( if it does fail) but the most reliable out there in my opinion. Stay away from CSR

For a done nothing nobody you sure quote me a lot.

only when the topic is this junk water pump

I don't know (actually don't much care either) how long the Meziere "cheerleader" has been using the brand he chose to use but I can testify to the "facts and truth" that the CSI(before name changed to CSR) pump Green1 remanufactured for me has been working flawlessly since 2008 (that's "1st hand experience") when I was fortunate enough to make Green1's acquaintance and he was kind enough to offer the repair. This experience is not an isolated occurrence either. Several racers I'm familiar with have had the same level of service life with his repaired pumps.

BONUS:
Hey! Guess what? They're Remanufactured right here in the USA by an American and he's a drag racer that has the skills to repair his stuff, and others. He's not just a wallet/credit card type racer, he has skills that "some people" feel inferior to...

THANKS CLINT!

the Meziere "cheerleader"...

Bearing isn’t easy to get off, I use a die grinder usually to cut it off but you have to measure how far it’s on first so you can put new bearing on same depth. You will also need a seal because seal leaking is the reason bearing went bad.

PM sent - thanks!

I'm not trying to offend anyone but back when I had a CSR water pump and they were no longer available for even repair parts, I switched to a Mezeire and haven't looked back .

I just don't understand why you would run a water pump that apparently one guy in the freaking nation will work on.

What I don't understand is why you are rebuilding water pumps.
If the wp takes a **** on my pu truck, I buy a new one.

I have a deadenbear and a csi/csr and so far so good with both.

The deadenbear is at least 21 years old, the csi I got on the car used so I can't say how old.

If either took a ****, I'd buy another deadenbear and hope that they have the same quality.

It might well come down to getting another one. But if it's just a bearing that's gone then I think it's justified. You don't toss the whole axle when you lose a wheel bearing do you?

water pumps were always a disposal part whether on your daily driver or race car! Besides, what do the broke dycks do when this junk pump fails at the track, between rounds, call greenie for a trackside repair.

Of course I don’t, I along with my competitors and 99.9% of those driving cars in this country REPLACE our water pumps when they fail, they are a consumable part and the way it’s been done for over 50 years!

As for between round repairs of the electric water pump motor (any brand I suspect) it's simple Ed, you should have someone show you how quick and easy it is. Have faith in yourself, I'm sure you have the fancy American made tools needed to perform the task. While you'd be on the phone with your credit card in hand, willing to throw away that Meziere, the rest of us would be in the lanes for the next round with our remanufactured pump motors cooling our race cars. Unlike you, I guess, we carry spare motors (that have been remanufactured by Green1) that have been riding around in the trailer for years. Motors I've acquired from other "credit card" racers that CHOSE to spend more money than needed to belong to your elite club of Meziere users. Instead many of us CHOSE to do a simple repair to resolve our issue. It's simple, some are doers, others choose not to do...

It's a CHOICE, make the repair or spend BIG money. It's a fabulous thing we have in this great country, freedom of choice...

I would not make it my life's work to force others to make the same choice I make in an effort to validate my choices. If you feel your choice is appropriate for you, so be it. Your time here on Earth would be much better spent NOT berating those that make choices different from yours...

Not this topic again


I agree !!!! I had recently sent Green 1 "Clint" three waterpumps. Two CSI's not CSR's and a Meziere. All of which were taken out of service while working fine but sat on the shelf for years. He did his thing and now I have three pumps I feel comfortable using again. I may also add, he did the repairs and had them shipped back without receiving any payment from me !!! Who does that !! Add to that he's a super nice guy who offers a service that I don't know anyone else who does....... That's a win win. Thanks Clint !!!

Highly recommend his services !!!!


And for the record I'm no broke **** idiot who buys junk, I simply don't believe in discarding something that has served me well for years. My 15yr old MSD distributor is still going strong, my less than one yr old BRAND NEW MSD unit has already failed. I'm beginning to have little faith in new parts these days ...........

All you have to do is look back to the first race of last season when his firebird kicked the rods out yet again. The car sat parked for 3 months while he called a “nationally known engine builder” and waited for a new engine. No ability to fix the engine in a timely manner, nor a spare. Some top level racer


Thanks for fixing my water pump a few years ago.

I need to send in my old CSI water pump for a rebuild. Nice to have a spare on hand....

back at the first divisional race of last season, the brand new engine in Ed's firebird had a rod failure after 52 passes and having been raced for 6 weeks prior without issue. A Callies Ultra I beam rod split vertically through the rod bolt boss and the rod bolt dropped into the pan without a mark on it. Ed pulled the engine the following week and sent it off to his engine builder who's engines are run by the who's who of bracket and class racing including Luke Bogacki, Shawn Langdon and Scott Lemen. The Firebird sat parked for 7 weeks while Ed's engine builder repaired the engine and Callies made it right and while Ed and his son traveled the country competing at NHRA Divisional and National events in Super Comp. The Firebird returned to competition in September last year competing in Super Street at the last 2 NHRA division 1 races and closed out the season in November at the Largest Door Car Race in History, competing at the "American DoorSlammers National" at Piedmont Dragway where not only did it get in the $ 2 of the 3 days but was also awarded the Best Engineered Car of over 539 entries on the property.

That said, csr water pumps are still junk and the only guy in the country that will touch them says...
