ok so i have a leaking water pump gasket, i dunno if its why the car is running ruff or not, i keep it full of fluids but it goes through anti freeze fast. the guy i got it from gave me a new gasket and told me its a pain to put on. was wondering if anyone on here wanted to help out on this job... i am not the biggest honda guy so i dont know much. i am used to workin on american cars. i just dont want to take it apart and not get it back together.. how long should it take me if i do it by my self? i have been around cars my whole life, dont all work on them myself, and went to school for 2 years for them. i am sure i could knock this out esp since i have the manual on how to do it. but it just has to be done by tomorrow

If it didnt have to de done tonight I would offer to help this weekend.

its not that hadr of a job but it will require you to take the crank pulley and the timing belt off.

ya, the timing belt was just replaced on it, along with the water pump, the guy just didnt seal it up good enough... but the good thing is he used anti sieze on the crankshaft pulley so it should come right off... but we will see the car was sitting for months. i am looking into a mini me swap anyway
