      If you do the water pump and drain the coolant, you might want to check into the thermostat, except the plastic housings might become fragile if you tear it apart. But like the earlier thermostat housings, they age, so I would check the condition of those.


      Have you kept up on spark plugs, etc? Have you needed shock or anything yet? just curious how your holding up at 100k.
