Most importantly, make sure you protect your optispark the best you can from leaking coolant when you remove the pump from the block.

While you got it out you might just want to do the thermostat as well and protect the opti like stated above. Make sure you seal it up good with permetex so it doesnt leak. Take your time and it will go smoothly
