i hate those motors, i pulled a head off one and it looks like it would be a bitch to work on.... you cant even adjust the idle or timing on them

there is about 20+ 10mm bolts you need to take off to get the timing cover off, then the pass motor mount needs to come off... its a bitch.

Changing the water pump made me cry on the grand am. I still have horrible dreams of having to jack up the whole engine just to remove that POS : (
