Default Water pump grenaded today--

I never realized that the front portion of the water pump where the fan/pulley bolts run through is just a press on piece---mine decided today it didn't want to be pressed on any longer---can't figure out how that could happen----is it possible to have to much weight over the front of the water pump (I.e. fan spacer, fan clutch, etc?). This pump appears to be stock, has GM stamped on it--is the one that came on the car when I purchased. Luckily I was close to home on a test drive---it took out the shroud, but it appears the radiator is still ok.

So, recommendations on water pumps would be appreciated--This car will see track days, auto X and lots of driving.

Doug
