ok, I think I will buy a new water pump because i heard that when the my bb motor will be installed, It's impossible to remove the water pump without putting out the engine...

Does the water pump break easily on sr20det swap ?

You can change the pump without pulling the engine. Its tight, but really not that bad of a job. You do have to jack up the passenger side of the engine to get enough room... However, if you've already got the engine out, well you might as well change it.

doesnt break easily, but it is cheap insurance. you will need to replace it eventually, they dont last forever, so you might as well do it when it is easy and have some peace of mind.

change it for 40 bucks now for nothing else than piece of mind and that it could save you much time and or money later.l
