Maybe so on stock iron stuff but the material on most engines and on my other set of rotors that were coated had zero issues with the rain in five hours of rain :P

 

Fell like I'm growing old here. Moving on............ Ordered parts needed, will be running by tuesday.

 

Guys, anything else I need to do the front main seal (while I am in there) beside the seal itself?

Must be one of those new warning indicator water pumps that make a special noise before they "go"

 

i am also about to buy all these parts for the motor that needs to go int o my car. can you keep this thread up to date on how those ebay kits workout?

im looking to do a timing belt, water pump and front seal replacement also. no mean to thread jack but what else should i buy 'while its out' ive never had to do this to any motor.

GL!

 

OK, so did the water pump, timing belt, pulleys. Back together and doing great. The noise was the water pump.

 

A bit late but for future reference.. a great place for maintaince parts like u needed, www.rockauto.com ... usually have what u need and u get a discount code after a purchase that anyone can use... On another forum, i know they had a thread where u use a code and post the new one u get.. was useful since its like 5 or 15% off ..
