replace your waterpump with the opti..... call it insurance.... you dont want your new opti to crap out cuz you went cheap and didnt do your waterpump too.. as for the link for the install guide... I used this one and my god was it helpful.... http://www.streetillusionsracing.com.../opti/opti.htm

good luck bro....

yeah i've never replaced one but i know what all your talking about i have done the wires and checked out everything under there...doesnt look that bad...the part from my work i get it at cost...which is 186.72 but i have to get the gaskets from dealer....or do you know if autozone has them....and why do you need 2?? just if you mess up the first one??

if you buy the waterpump , it will come with the two gaskets you'll need... one for each side of the pump, each waterjacket i would assume... I dont see why autozone or advance auto wouldnt have em..

I don't have a strict opti install page, but it would be covered in my cam removal and install pages.
