    Considering its a low mileage JDM engine i'm not going to worry about changing the water pump but some of the other seals don't sound like a bad idea :lol:

    I'm planning for saturday to fix the leak and i'm starting first thing in the morning and i don't plan on stopping til its all put back together

    If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

              • Well i got the engine pulled this afternoon, pulled the front of the engine off, fixed the leak, re-installed the front of the engine and got the engine back in the engine bay

                i didn't get anything hooked up to the engine other then the mounts so i should be able to finish it up tomorrow
