yes, replaced both. Timing belt was new. Water pump was Daniel's new-ish one.

Nooooooooooooo! 
I'm sorry you had a bum weekend Chee La.
Just think how much more satisfying it will be when you DO get it running. It will be glorious!
I believe in you!
Yeah, definitely felt a bit defeated... just needed to step away from it and rehash a new plan of attack. This BEAMS WILL RUN!!!!

I'm not a certified mechanic, nor am I a certified adult so both would be welcomed.
but I'mma get back in there and tear it apart. I might've missed a gasket or the gasket could just be bad. who knows? i was working with 2 BEAMS, maybe I replaced everything on the junk redtop and not my greytop. lol

Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in2grfe Swapped...Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here...A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within.@llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore.

Just keep pushing through. It'll be worth it.
And just think, when the BEAMS comes out for your GTE swap, It'll only take the weekend.

YUP! It'll happen. You really get to know the ins & outs of your entire car when you do a swap. Should be cake after this is done.

I just looked back through my progress thread. Motor dropped in the engine bay to running in all four cylinders was 6 weeks. Youre running out of time! And it still runs like poo, whats your point?

And they say the BEAMs is the easiest swap lol but good luck, plus you should come do my swap in the future
LOL. yeah it really is the easiest swap to do though.
It's been just me and my bad luck and idiocy that's caused all these issues.
Somebody competent would've had it done by now hahaha.

Well, found the leek.

oh... wrong leak. yes. this one.
well then... here we go...
O ring is there... doesn't look too bad, at least not bad enough to cause a leak.
Here's a shot of all the parts I took off. Well at least I know every single bolt on this BEAMS now. lol
New pump ordered so once that's in, I can put everything back together and finally start the damn thing.

I would but I suspect the pump itself may be bad so might as well put a brand new one in.
