sorry to hear that...i havent had my tour in over 3 weeks. it is getting the head gasket fixed, only to find out the block is warped! so he is pulling the block, machining it, then reassembling it for free...but i still paid for the head machining, gasket set, etc (over $1100). ouch...
Here is an update:
Finally got it back, waterpump was the culprit-the impeller was 95% missing!! Here is all that I did/had done:
Motor was cleaned and dis/reassembled and decked (using same internals)
Head was cleaned/resurfaced (using same internals)
Remanufactured water pump
New timing belt
All new gaskets, head bolts, etc.
SPEC Stage 2 clutch (stocker was nearly gone)
Timing belt tensioner pulley (old one severly cracked)
Lightened stock flywheel
SVT front/rear mounts installed (w/ES Poly insert)
Optimized TB (thanks Rick)
Gutted cat
New heater core/hoses
Mechanical OIL PRESS gauge
I am sure I am forgetting some things...
Also, it is blowing a moderate amount of white smoke at startup, is this normal after a complete engine overhaul? the mech said it could be residual coolant in the muffler, but I dont think so, since the coolant had 2 months to dry and the smoke smells more like oil, (not sweet)...
Any thoughts...?
Thanks guys...

I have a metal impeller pump......now.
I had one last me exactly 364 days, with me removing it and replacing it on its last day of its warranty. Suprisingly, both the stocker and the first replacement didnt have any problems with the impeller coming off. They would leak out of the weep hole.

was all that done as a result of the pump going? or was it one of those "while-im-in-there-i-might-as-well" deals?
