What about all the belts and shit you have to loosen?

abe, those belts take 1 min to get loose, there are adjustors, and belts come off easier with a prying device..Im confident it a 1hr or less procedure
:)
Also, this is not a timing belt replacement, this is a water pump ;)Comment

Same thing. Your supposed to change one and the other hand in hand or every other time.
Now here's the question. Are you actually going to help him do it or sit there and watch?
Because that indeed would make a world of difference.Comment

Haha Im sure Matt will help me. My conceived master plan includes ordering the parts from Blunt to Matt's. Then drive down the day they come, or next day and do the timing belt and water pumpComment

Sounds like a great plan dude! Good luck! I hope everything goes well for you!Comment

Thanks Abe. If Matt allows it, you can come down and enjoy the partyComment

Abe is my good buddy lolComment

if the waterpump is shot, im sure the tensioner is just as bad. take the thermostat out and run without it, flush system from the block plug, and fill/bleed the system CORRECTLY. Another thing id check is the headgasket, look for bubbles in the overflow tank. See if revving the engine directly effects the temperature and how fast it takes to overheat. If i were you, id borrow a trailor or rent a dolly from uhaul for a day and offer him 150 less or whatever the dolly cost was.

I'd pass on it. The paint is shot, and who knows how long the PO drove it with the overheating issue.Originally posted by GrueliusComment
