yesterday I noticed something on my lil 1.6 block...its leakin water a lil badly I cracked the hood and looked at the hoses...they were fine then I look on the block and right at the water pump it looks like its leakin it pretty bad worse while it runs...sound right? can I swap my 1.3 water pump in it or do I have to buy another one?

Whereas, the 1.3 pump will fit, and probably run ok, it isn't as strong a pump at the 1.6 pump is. So, it may work ok, but then again, it may not be able to keep up and you'll be overheating. Heck, I'd try it tho... if it works, (after a few weeks of testing), let us know. It may not be as big an issue as it sounds.
(incidently, the alternator is the same issue. The 1.3 will work on the 1.6, but doesn't put out as many amps as the stock 1.6 alternator. guess it depends on how much electrical junk you got hanging off yer rig).
Good luck...
