Be more concerned with your butterfly valve screws and pre-cat injestion. Do the loctieng and buy a aftermarket header.

Waterpump would normally get changed with a timing belt, maybe thats what your thinking of. They do that because it usually needs to come off anyway, so it's cheap insurance to put a new one on while the motor is open for the belt. That said, because we have a timing chain (THANK GOD), you can wait until it leaks or stops cooling the car well. You won't hurt anything by waiting (unless you let it leak out totally and overheat the car excessively.
