any way to tell if a water pump is good or not once it is out of the engine??

Recently swapped engines and replaced the pump, but wanted to figure out if the old one was worth keeping as a spare..

91 Civic Si w/ DOHC ZC

thanks

 

It's mostly just a visual inspection for cracks or wear, and make sure the impeller spins freely w/out leaks.

 

waters are only like 60 bux new at NAPA

 

sorry i wouldnt trust a napa water pump.... too much work to worry about a sub standard part ill buy a oem honda water pump and pay 45 for it ....gotta love a shop discount and world pac parts dist.
