SPM-HEP-5331 is the cast iron engine water pump: the six hole pulley flange on a sealed bearing, the side outlet pipe and small bypass pipe, and the bolt holes around the mounting face. It is used on Mitsubishi 6D15T engines. This aftermarket version is made to the same mounting and connections as the original, so it fits where the old one came off.
It replaces Mitsubishi ME035245 and Mitsubishi ME035246.
Sold as one unit. Check the number on your old part, or in the parts manual for your machine, before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
Will it replace my Mitsubishi ME035245?
Yes, it is a direct replacement for the Mitsubishi ME035245 with the same fitting.
How often should I replace the Mitsubishi ME035245?
Often 5,000 to 10,000 hours with clean fluid, much less with dirt or air in the system. It is usually changed on condition, not by hours.
What are the signs the water pump needs replacing?
Leaks from the seal or weep hole, noise or whining, overheating, or falling pressure or flow under load.
What should I do with the gasket faces?
Clean them right back to metal and fit the new gasket or O-ring dry, unless the engine manual calls for sealant.
Should I change the coolant and thermostat too?
If the coolant is old or dirty, yes. Worn coolant is the usual cause of seal failure, and a new pump in old coolant fails the same way.
Is this a genuine Mitsubishi ME035245?
No. It is an aftermarket water pump made to replace the Mitsubishi ME035245. It is not made by the original manufacturer; the number only shows what it replaces.
