I've googled this problem, but no one else seems to have encountered
it.
There was a little noise at idle, but I thought it was the idler
pulley/serpentine belt problem common to these engines.
The next thing I know, water is pouring out of the water pump, and,
upon disassembly, the bearing had seized, and broken a chunk out of
the timing cover.
My mechanic says new covers from the dealer are $800 Canadian, and,
because they have them in stock, its probably a common problem. He
wants to try welding the damaged cover before buying a new one.
Anyone have a similar horror story?
