Hey guys, I'm new to this and by no means any kind of mechanic. But with our good friend the internet I was able to figure out my water pump had gone bad. It was rattling and close to digging into the timing cover. Anyways I've made lots of progress for being such a newb, but I'm stuck now. I've...
