It’s going to end up in the top,of the radiator for the rest of that radiator’s life. No worries. Now, if it were a Saturn,loss of rings would be a concern.

I’ll contemplate that over a Mars Bar.

I think that's your best bet. Bite the bullet, pull the pump and do it once.

Agreed, it's probably fine. It's small enough that it shouldn't damage anything or affect flow significantly.

Yeah, I would still recommend setting it to the marks. Keep in mind you'll also have to clean off the gasket from the pump, so you'll probably want the belt out of the way. Might not need to take it all the way off, but it's better to be safe and go ahead and set it to the alignment marks.

You don’t need to lock the cams on a non VVT CAR. Set the crank to the timing mark , take the belt off, remove water pump

Nasty business with water pipe

Check cam timing marks
Reinstall belt , two full revolutions of motor , check marks , pull the pin

On an oil change, I use 6.1 qts. They say 5.6 qts "without oil cooler" and the capacity of the cooler/lines is just under 1 qts (0.95 qts)

If everything is dry (as in the oil cooler,lines,etc was also drained) you're looking at closer to 6.5 qts to get to capacity.

Don’t sweat it too much Sveedy. Turbos have the piston oilers so as long as the oil pump is making pressure everything is getting lubed well from 4 liters of oil on up

No, 6.5.

I couldn't find anything on IDP or FCP. Thinking that they are a dealer part only.
