good to see it was just the old waterpump...
usually with cooling issues i start with the waterpump and hoses as possible causes, then i move towards the BHG as the worst possible scenario

So, I"m a little surprised! LOL That much coolant leaking from the pump, without a pool under the car???
Also sounds like no one has heard about the import low mileage engines from japan. I purchased my first engine when I lived in LA app 12 years ago. They had enough on hand so that I could pick the engine. Over the years I have installed a few more. It's a cheap way to replace a engine complete from throttle body to pan,all accessories included. For those that need a major rebuild, this a way to save some bills.

Actually it is.

JDM 92-93 Toyota Camry Lexus ES300 3.0L V6 3VZ Engine
Clifton, NJ Toll Free 1-877-249-7990 Local 973-249-7000 EBAY auction Item number: 320361605045

This is a auction in ebay. There are several different places that you can buy the used engines from Japan. I first found out about the japanese engines 12 years ago. They are for real.

This auction is listed at $545 buy it now. Furthermore, and I know a lot of you are going to have a hard time believing this, but the same goes for the transmissions. Search for yourselves.
