Oh yeah, this is up and running now. This engine also gets the honor of most asinine design I've ever worked on. The water pump is driven by the timing chain... but it's external.... it's located above the transmission (weird tranny goes back on itself design) and beneath the exhaust manifold... pinned by the firewall... also, when the seal goes that keeps the coolant from entering the oil, it's what leaks like crazy.

Ended up doing the work myself, took 2 days mainly because of the ridiculous tight quarters of the engine bay.

Still, I've got less than 100$ in it, so I can't complain. (Much)
