    I basically have two questions, can I replace the timing cover without lifting the engine? If I don't have to lift the engine, what all has to come off?

    I hate the thought of it but would it be worth it to try some of that bars stop leak stuff? I've heard of it working miracles...

    coolant elbows and water pump have both been replaced in the past year.

    You don't need to lift the engine, and stop leak is a bad idea. There's another member doing just that in another thread, http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...Bad-water-pump

    His is a gtp, but you don't have to remove the intake to do yours.

    Depending on your year.. check that when you did the coolant elbow etc.. that you didn't crack the timing cover where the lower elbow goes into it.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.
