Graf here. 15k miles/ 2 years, no problems.
I use on my 12v and 24v VR6 engines, Eurowise aluminum thermostat housing and 42DD stainless steel crack pipe. Water pump I use GRAF or Hepu for its metal impeller.
Graf & Hepu brand water pumps are both metal impeller high quality oem suppliers
I also used a kit from FCP Euro about 8 years ago and it included a HEPU water pump that worked fine for 7 years until I dismantled that car.
If it *is* leaking you might want to consider replacing it with a Graf alloy-bodied pump which won’t be affected by heat and exposure to oil, the usual causes of eventual failure of the plastic pumps.
my hepu has been in for 9 years with zero issues
I've also had a Graf I think it was, it did have a metal impeller, which started leaking after 7 yrs.
what I had problems with is with Graf water pump, that was included as part of FCP euro cooling system kit, water pump seal around the bearing started pouring coolant like a waterfall after only 11k miles, I replaced it with a Stewart pump
I am dealing with a similar issue right now on my CJAA which I changed the timing belt in April this year. Leaking from same spot. Hepu waterpump.
a Hepu which went seven years/60,000 miles before it started leaking. I think the additional mass of the metal impeller put more stress on the bearing and seal.
