It's aparently a Mitsubishi motor put in the caravans all the way to 2001? Anyone deal with one of these before? Church friend who's down on his luck (cancer) needs a water pump on one. I wanna help but I'm doing some research and these things seem like a total nightmare. Seems like half the motor has to come apart, some special tools needed or at least custom fabbed. I wanna do what I can for them but trying to decide if its in my scope of capabilities. I just can't afford to buy any crazy special tools for the thing and he needs it done fast.
It's non interference from what I've found so thats a bonus if I screw up timing. (Water pump timing belt driven).
If you know anything about this engine let me know before I get in over my head. I'm doing it free but need to decide if I gotta say, just take it to a shop, scrap it, or what. Keep in mind, he has NO money and that's weighing heavily on me since if I say no he and his wife are basically screwed.
