damn! thats ugly lol i think it is the waterpump i tried listening through a socket extensiomn and it sounded like it was coming from that area its started to leak too from that side it could be the thermostat seal but i highly doubt it i drilled a hole in the thermostat it helped but diddnt make much difference looks like ill be doing a timing belt and waterpump fun fun can you guys think of any good mods to do while i have it apart should i port out the lower intake? i have a 88 large style caravan fuel rail sitting in my garage whats a good regulator to use with it?

if you start this job, then make sure to get the bypass hose, and when pulling the waterpump apart you need to hammer the screw to get it to start to come out, mine didn't want to come out and i had to drill out the screws for the rear part of the waterpump, i luckily found new ones at Sears Hardware.

Without A/C i can change mine in about 3hrs, i've done it like 3 times now on diff 3.0's

Mods if you have money, polybushings solid motor mounts, nick boers UDP, and could port the plenum and install a 52/58mm TB if not done.

ive got the solid front mount and tb already does nick boers still make the udp and will he make them without the a/c pulley and is it really worth porting the plenum on an automatic wont it make me lose torque but gain some top end? how about plenum spacers too?
