The water pump froze and I had an overheating issue. Replaced water pump and belts. Water pump developed a leak at the block. Re-did water pump with better sealer. Same leak after about an hour of running. I pulled the radiator cap and the coolant had a steady stream of bubbles.

Has anyone done a head gasket on the 2.5? Any advice?

Can the engine be pulled from the top leaving the trans in place?

very unhappy!
