Been reading on MR2OC.com, they seem to recommend replacing the waterpump (it can leak) and resealing the front timing cover... any thoughts?

On a 2gr? Interesting.
Water pumps don't stand well once used. Second hand ones never seem to last 2 minutes, I assume because they start to rot once they have stood a but.
I've not heard of anyone swapping one out, but wtf do I know?!
See what the smart money on here says.

That's why I thought I'd have a browse on some of the yank boards, they've done a lot more swaps on the whole than us Brits.

Really? :icon_biggrin:
I honestly think i've more under my belt now than the combined USA total.
There aren't that many in the US, not as many as you'd think anyway. No i've never had to replace a 2gr water pump yet, they've all been in perfect condition up to now.
Been doing some digging today, there are some TSB's out there which apply to the 2GR-FE. I'm currently trawling and trying to find them all (doesn't seem to be a Toyota database anywhere?), but the first one I've found which I've seen mentioned on various Toyota forums around the world is this one, a hose which can degrade and cause an oil leak with engine failure (I've uploaded it to my ToyotaWiki.org site, and I'll do the same for all the TSB's I find):
