ok guys i took a better closeer look at it and man am i relieved to see it was just the bypass pipe from the waterneck to the pump it was old and i guess i tore it wen i took it off to put the new thermo in and ya im aware of the whole clutch break in thing not going to hard on it just a lil i mean i figure hey the car is still stock only with exhaust and the clutch is rated to 680hp i dont think its gonna break regardless haha and to they guy that said the stuff about good mechanic and nice cars i think he did think i was an idiot cuz i knew stuff doesnt just do that over time its either gonna do it right away or not at all lol

Water pumps go out. Put it back together the same order you take it apart and you will be fine. Also take a good look at the balancer. When the rubber goes bad it can slip and screw up your timing marks. You could be running mystery timing.....

Caution on the Spec 3 clutch. The T-5 is not the strongest transmission. I think you would be better off with a clutch that is a little more forgiving. The Spec 3 will hold a ton of power, the T-5 will not. Better to have a clutch that will slip just a little and not shock the trans so hard. Your T-5 just became the weak link.

Sorry, I saw that the H20 pump was not out. Just a hose leaking.
