We never changed the water pump or any other engine part except the oil sending unit and the timing belt only because it had cracks as they all do. The thermostat housing cracked and started leaking, then sealed itself up after 10K miles of leaking and gumming up... whistling biggrin




How does a timing belt crack on an engine that don't have a timing belt? You had a 2.4 NOT a 2.7, very different engines.
