You should check again then - I have replaced several sets of rockers now on CRDs that have had the original water pump and far less than 200k miles. The water pump failure CAN AND WILL take out the timing and trash the rockers, and then you are looking at an additional $1000 in parts plus redoing all the labor and another 5 hours to boot.

X10... I'll be pulling my belt and feeling all of the bearings on mine at 50 & 70k just to be safe. I'll probably change them all at 80k. Cheap insurance from a possibly dropped valve, and toasted engine.
