Ive got an 88 invitor, The reason the impellar melts is do to the head gasket,the gaskets are noted to blow , so if you get the hot light, its no doubt your head gasket..dont drive it even if it coolsdown ..it will eat the impellar! If you pull the head ,you have to put new gasket, No way to reuse it,and to fix water pump impellar problems ,you have to pull the head!! No way around it! Them one lungers are a finicky motor, As far as the burn up plug thing,,,,,I dont know..never heard of that problem...try a br9eya....by the way does anyone know where to get waterpump parts for the invitor? They have been discontinued..
