water pump

[yomanwill]

how involved is this this project? how many shop hours?

i did it myself in about 6hrs. i also went to school for auto tech. its really not that hard to do. how many miles are on the car and when was the last time the timing belt was changed? you may want to consider changing it while youve got it apart depending on the answer to those.

for a water pump it does look a bit invloved, but I guess i get to kill a flock of birds with one stone.

Timing belt, pullies, tensioner
Septine belt, and belt tensioner, idler pully
Get to replace a bad lifter
plugs
bad valve cover gasket
water pump

noticed that the brake pads where a bit thin too,

bright side is, the motor mount looks good

Remove the sep belt to gain access. The water pump bolts on to the block with 3 bolts. The pulley needs to be removed also which is another 3 bolts. Everything else is simple bolt off and on but is hard due to the limited space of the inner fender.

There is actually a fair amount of space in there, once you get the engine mount, coolant reservoir, and timing crap out of the way.
