Was looking into dropping one of these into my car in the near future to replace my ageing 5s. From what I've read, it's just a 2.0 ltr version of the 5sfe. Does anyone know if common replacement parts like the water pump, seals, gaskets etc are the same?

Sounds like all of your problems would be fixed if you replace the timing belt and all the accessories that go along with it. Replacing the crank seal wouldn't be a big deal at all while you had that side of the motor apart.
