Thanks, Don.

- And the three front seals being...?
- How involved are replacing these seals? Special tools required? (Mechanically I would rate myself as at least intermediate, it's the time and tools conccerns that will determine if I will give this job to a garage.)
- Water pump looks OK. What are its typical failure modes? Sudden seizure, sudden gasket leak/breakdown, sudden impeller breakage, or gradual deterioation?
- Valve cover gasket looks fine, no sign of oil seepage; since this can be done fairly easily and independently of the timing belt job (please correct me if I am wrong), I assume it would be of lower priority. (Have in the last two weeks bought about $350 worth of parts from FCP Groton, need some breathing room. :-(

Thanks again,
Lih-Yen
