Hey Ed,

Sorry if I did not make myself clear before...  I'd like to change the water
pump (preventative maintenance).  The engine has 60k on it and I had heard
that it was easy to do it while doing a head job...maybe... the pump is
indeed more accessible but it seems oh so near yet oh so far away...

My 91 is a 2.1 with A/C and power steering
