i've seen them last longer, but -- and this is important --
changing a
water pump is also time to change the timing belt, and check the
condition
of the tensioner.

You're right! My waterpump Milano's is about 50K miles old. The
bearing is totally shot now (actually it has been shot for about
a month now 8-) ). I'll hopefully be able to  replace it
tomorrow. On the average, 35-40K miles I would think. 

The question is, can a 164 waterpump be used on the Milano? There
are many things the 164 has that we can use. The shroud and fan
fits with minor mods and I think the next thing I wanna adapt to
is the PS pump. I won't pay $300 for a refurbished pump. I would
gladly pay someone to fabricate a bracket so that I can use the
164 PS pump in my Milano. They are smaller and would probably
last longer too. Any takers? New 164 pumps are only $300+.
