What's ever dumber is how many engines have:
1. and interference design.
2. a rubber timing belt.
3. AND the timing belt drives the water pump!
With this brilliant design, a water pump failure means needing a new engine! Almost all Hondas are designed this way. Others are too.
If every time my dad had a water pump seize with his old cars the engine croaked too, I'd not have been to college! (or would still be in debt)
