In the barn talking to myself....
This can't be good!
My husband is at drill. I'm going to attempt to put my water pump back together and put my exhaust manifold back on. Wish me luck.
What the hell is molybdenum oil and can I get it at Meijer?

Moly-grease/oil is common, you should be able to get it from any auto-supply store.
It is a hi-temp lubricant, commonly used for brakes/pumps/etc. for it's extreme durability.
A few tips on the wrenching...
When you assemble the manifold, use some grease to hold the seals in place,
while you get the pipes on. When tightening the 3-hole plate that holds each
pair of pipes, start with the CENTER one. Then go left/right, center/left/right
(2-3 times), till final torque (14 foot/pounds for an F3). It will pull down evenly,
which is what you want.
Water pump, just pay attention as you dis-assemble it and re-assemble the same way.
Good luck, Ern

Thank you much, Ern. I was talking to my dad and he said he thinks he has some of that oil.. And sounds like he wants to look at it with me. I have a PDF of the manual on the computer.. I dunno about all these torque specs. It doesn't look that hard to put back together, couple O rings, gasket, 4 bolts, and a couple clamps for the water pump.
We have been trying to eliminate an oil leak I have. We took the oil pan off, cleaned off the old gasket material and put on some new honda bond and that took care of a lot of it.. It's still dribbling a little and he thinks it's coming from the O ring by the water pump so we got all new stuff for that too.
