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?

Thanks for the advice guys. With the feedback I've gathered, I'll be setting some time aside in the near future to do an overhaul on all the parts in the timing area. I'll probably also do a compression test, and pop the valve cover and oil pan off at the same time to do an inspection/general cleaning. What is an acceptable range for each cylinder when i go to test them? Also, I should note that although I'm using the car for delivery right now, I'd rather not be. My other car took a crap and this was supposed to be a project car.
