How much of a pain is the waterpump?
My waterpump shot craps on me today. How much of a pain is it on an ecotec? I just hope its nowhere near as bad as the 2.4L. Had to tow the stupid thing home today, wasn't terribly happy about that.
Sucks ass because I have an early flight on Christmas morning, and I wanted to leave the alero at the airport versus taking a taxi or leaving another car there.

Doesn't sound too bad, I'll check into it more when I get home. I only looked at it for like 2 seconds when it shot craps on me and it looked like it was going to be only slightly annoying.
Probably right around the annoyance level of doing a thermostat on the 3400.

as far as water pumps go.. its not too bad.
It gives 4 hours labor, but the pump itself is a lil bit pricier than some
Not as bad as the Dodge 2.7 v6 motors. Theres one in now thats nearly 6.5hrs labor. def a PITA

Only took about 3 hours to do, but that was with a heavy amount of screwing around. Certaintly not as easy as what I work on at work on a daily basis, but it was nowhere near as hard as the water pump I did on my friends 93 300zx.
