Not worth blowing them like I did. Car is sitting outside dead until next week when my tuner could get me in. Don't even want to think about what it's gonna cost me :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have now got an atomic pump but had my engine not sh*t itself due to timing chain letting go it would have been a matter of time before the pump died. My vote is do it for sure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
