Swap question????????????/
I am in the process of doing my swap and the shop that is doing it for me wans to know if i should replace the water pump and timing belt now. He didnt even look at it yet and says that its theres a really good chance that the water pump is rotted. I told him that the motor averages 35,000 miles and it should still be fresh. He wants to charge me $350 total including labor for a new timing belt and water pump. Do you think its worth it to have this done now even though there is a chance that there could be nothing wrong with either one? And he says i should replace the clutch.
Comments please.....

get it back from the garage and do it urself, I'm dead serious, it's important that it needs to be chagned, it could have sat for awhile, on the flipside, that's an assload for taht job, u can do it urself, trust me on this, it'll take u a few hours TOPS if u've NEVER done it b4

Re: (AllstockSIke)
like the guys said, replace the water pump and timing belt no matter what. Those parts are fairly cheap and it would be a shame to screw up a nice new motor because a $40 part broke on you. Also, I would grab a new clutch, just because if I did a swap I would want it done the best it could be, but you may be able to get by on the stock clutch for a while id the motor does infact have the milage they claim it does.
