Well boys she was fun while she lasted. Water pump took a dump on me. Leaking coolant from timing side. Havent pressure tested to confirm, but seeing where the coolant is coming from looks like the weep hole or the pump gasket. Any ways, I'm gonna do full timing job, and new valve seals while I'm at it. What is the "go to" for water pumps these days? Was looking at the gates kit on extreme psi with oem tensioner, but not sure if there's a better option or kit i haven't come across. Also replacing my worn stock clutch. Probably gonna go south bend as I have heard and read good things about. Any ways yall point me in the right directions please. Last time i had water pump and timing components changed was ten years ago and ;paid someone to do it cuz i had no clue about working on these cars I just knew I loved them , doing this on my own this time. Thanks for input.

Well shit... did compression test. Cylinder one was lower than the rest, put oil in spark plug hole and re tested and got higher number as seen in pics. Was determining if i actually needed to replace HG before ripping shit apart. Car runs fine. Definitely needs the new valve seals though according to my spark plugs

Why do you assume head gasket based on these results?

I dont. I guess I should choose my words better. Its getting replaced regardless just wanted to do compression test as ive never done one in this vehicle. Based on these numbers I assume I have worn piston rings on cylinder one. But I tell you, im no expert by any means. Don't really have any other testers like leak down, or coolant pressure testers atm.
