bad water pump?

i was leaking coolant like a bitch it got worse and worse.. then i saw shit boiling in the middle i was scared thinking i blew a head gasket.

turned out to be a bad water pump.. it was a bitch to change! only because all the shit you have to take off and tiny space you have to work, my hands are cut up haha.

i figured fuck it since my fucking crank shaft pulley ripped and i JB welded it so i replaced that too

check that out. just a suggestion. oh and LOCK YOUR CAM GEARS/SPROCKETS BEFORE TAKING OFF TIMING BELT... i swear my timing is off but barely noticable
