ok,so i am assuming the engine in this car is like the ones in the eclipse.timing belts and water pump go bad,bent rods?
so,probably be best to go ahead and do it all while im in there?

Do it all correctly. You don't want the time or the money wasted. Spend a little more to make sure you don't have a problem later. (EXPENSIVE)
