i went today to order a new water pump and specifically told the parts salesman it was for a 95 del sol (DOHC), well i noticed today when i ordered my pump at the local advanced auto, it listed it as a b16a3. now i was told that the b16a(jdm) & the b16a2(usdm - del sol) are the same engine, but the b16a3 is what comes in the 99-00 si, and that the water pump was different by one extra tooth on the gear. is this true, or i have anyone heard of this rumor, please help me out cuz i gotta do a swap tomorrow and i really need to change the pump out.
