my new water pump is different....

[FlipDsM]

well, i just thought i should ask this question. anyway, my new water pump empeler(sp?right term?)(empeler is the one that rotate inside the water pump itself to deliver coolant) is different that the old one. the new one i got has a solid circle and not a teeth. i just want to know if this is o.k.? its a oem spec. made by the same material in my opinion. what do you guys think? thanks you...

Just so long as it's a metal impeller instead of plastic. The specific design isn't crucial.

A fully shrouded impeller design is generally superior (more efficient) and thus is common on aftermarket and updated OEM replacement parts.
