this same csr vs meziere chat is going on over on yb right now also ... there is several post of csr issues.
So get a Meziere!!!
My CSR is 3 seasons old with no problems so far. May fly all to pieces next time I turn it on, but I will get another one.
I know you have seen stock Chevy/Ford/ whatever last for years and years AND others start leaking before the first oil change. That is my point.
Now I'm done with it 8)

Dave,
My water filler neck was leaking this year too. I went to a 34 pound cap and that solved the problem.

My water fill neck (csr) is also leaking .. they'd never seen one leak, a buddy has a brand new one leaks same spot, he called .. they had never seen one leak.
When this thing finally goes I will be replacing with a Meziere

sounds like a vendetta that hammertime has with the csr's.. But I've been running them on every car I've ever raced and haven't had a bit of trouble, matter of fact we ran one for 4 years on a car that had it on it when we bought it, and when we sold the car, it was still running.. Just saying I've never had a problem, and if I did jeg's would take it right back on warranty and ship a new one the next day! haha I love jegs..

David, I didn't say you "wanted" to have a vendetta with them sir, and I'm not going to get into a 'posting battle' with you either. You know as well as I do that any drag racing car is going to require maintenance, including water pumps, whether it has a csr or meziere it. You might be the unlucky guy that got the one lemon out of a hundred and that sucks, but that's the way it sometimes goes, unfortunately.

I agree everyone has issues but its how they want to take care of them is what makes a place stand apart ... CSR motors were not to be had from anyone for 2-3weeks but they had plenty on the shelf, whats that tell ya ?!?! It tells me they want you to buy from them only
