egregoreFord internal water pump strikes again
Did another one - on a nearly identical car, the same color, even - yesterday and wrapped it up this morning. This one, using the lessons learned from the last one, went smoothly, but was still 10 hours' work. So far, all the ones I have had to do just leaked, but if one were to fail catastrophically and the timing chain bail off, it could cause some serious engine damage.
