Well we still don't have an answer yet about my son's head gasket problem...shop said it would be magnafluxed on Monday and yesterday we stopped and they haven't even opened the hood yet

As a general rule, does the water pump get changed out with this?...seems to me like it would have been the water pump that failed causing the overheating and gasket to blow...
Reason I ask, I had a starter put in our Tercel at this same place and the work was fine, but my wife was charged $120 for the starter

I know enough to do that myself, but thought it was the timing belt...could have bought a starter for $60 at AutoZone and saved a bit...
So I'd rather go buy a water pump for $36 rather than have them get one and charge me $90 just for the part....
Thanks for the help guys ...
Steve
