Well I pulled it apart today & found a little machining. Fortunately it decided to machine the center timing belt cover instead of the block. The water pump was seized solid! 6 year old Laso with about 36,000 miles. The timing belt sure was nice and shiny! Stuck in the metal impeller Porsche pump I pulled 6 years ago - no more overheating.
