I have bitten the bullet and ordered everything I need to replace the the water pump. I will go ahead and switch out the thermostat, too.  Might do the timing belts.  They are due by cautious standards as they are about 5 years and 20,000 miles old.  It sure will be a lot easier to do with it on a bench. I also ordered a Stocker starter to replace the broken one.  Everything I have read about them is that they are high quality.I have cleaned out the oil return screen and it was not bad at all.  It turns out that other than the gunk on the top of the stator, there is very little gunk in this engine.  I am pretty darn happy about that.  Now I just have to peel the old gaskets off and wait for the new parts to arrive.  Those gaskets are really on there. Anybody have a tip to get them off?</blockquote>
