Ok so the motor is pulled on a stand

I can see the rear main seal is leaking, I'm going to go ahead and replace the timing belt and water pump too.

So the question is:

Where do I find something like this for my JDM engine? Will the older s12 ca18's and what not work? I saw up in a sticky where to get my water pump, will other things work off that same car?

I'm looking for

-Timing Belt-Water pump-Front and rear main seals

Thanks

just go to advance auto or something and ask for all that off the '88 pulsar with the ca18de. its the exact same junk.

edit: i should mention if you are using the stock clutch fan you need the ca18et water pump. if you are using a fwd clutch fan or an electric fan you can use the de pump.

It isnt the clutch fan, its the pulley.

The 88 pulsar FWD is not "hubcentric" with the pulley so it will throw it off (supposedly). Just get the S12 Pump.

Seals are cheap at dealer.

Bearings and rings, now that is another story.
