Re: Leak in my 4KCSQ

[Kneale Brownson <knotnook@traverse.com>]

Waterpump lifespan generally exceeds timing belt lifespan by a small enough
percentage that most folks take advantage of the disassembly necessary for
TB change to also replace the WP.  Both my 4K cars went about 100,000 miles
before TB/WP replacement.  The one we've had longer now has 80,000 on the
replacements, while the other has nearly 70,000.
