1996 Suzuki Sidekick water pump
I am working on this sidekick 1.6L 16 valve for a friend and i've never worked on one before. Before i get started i would just like to know how deep this is going to get. It looks as if the timing is right in the way of the water pump. Does anyone know what i'm going to need to do this job? It doesn't look very fun. Thank you.
