Pump replacement is not to bad. Took my other half and the previous owner's ex about 3 hours to take it apart and put it back together. Just make sure you put the belt back on right when you get it back together. Water pump is accessable from the pass side front tire well. Back to my previous ??.... does she have heat in the car or not? Seems to me you are going the same route we went with the 94 w/3.8. Before you go ripping apart the water pump might want to see if you can pay to get a compresion check done if you don't want to do it yourself. Water pumps run you about 85-100 bucks. The head job gaskets will run you about 250-275. The question is do you want to do two jobs like we did or just pay and do the one job? Curious too.... Have you blown a freeze plug recently?
