Its finally finished!
I ended up renting an arc welder from home depot and welding the crack shut. That may be overkill, but it sure doesn't leak anymore!
Check this out. After I put everything back together, I started up the car and its idle was extremely rough. I replace the timing chain, so I started to freak out...thinking, that maybe I screwed something up. After turning off the engine, and looking around, I found the problem. My dumbass forgot to put back on 1/2 the spark plug wires!! So, only the left side was actually getting a spark. After putting the wires back on - she ran smooth...
This ends my saga in changing the water pump and timing chain.
