If the head has to come off due to a potential gasket leak, the water pump has to come off anyway. I may just pull the pump off to have a look at it.
Nope- - - -neither the old nor the new design engine (high or low water pump) needs to have the pump removed to pull the head. All the water pump bolts including Dave's relocator plate type are in the block. Pull the pump if you wish, but it's not necessary to change the head gasket. Jerry
