Didn't see where they make one for this engine. But let's assume they made this one. So the hub fell off. Now how are we going to trust the next one?

So what? Don't recommend one? What else would I recommend? Cheap auto store parts? That's nice you replaced one at 52K. Anything man made can have a problem at any time. That's one out of how many million? Got a recommendation for a replacement part? Funny I didn't see you give one. The lowest was 52K? Guess what the mileage would be on a cheap auto parts store pump would be? I will bet on average a lot lower than that. Seen any auto parts store water pumps using cast iron? Go ahead we'll wait.
