Sucks that a bit of RTV could have saved me from having to go through all this trouble. I had the engine out when I installed all the new parts so it was easy. I can't imagine how hard it's going to be to remove the pump now that the motor is in the car. I have big hands and everything seems so tight in that timing belt area. :wallbash
