Fitting new waterpumps
Hi Guys - Apologies for the daft question.
I am expecting a delivery today of 2 new waterpumps from Skip Haney. He tells me that he has included 2 new gaskets. Should I pop them on with a little bit of grease either side of the gasket ? Blue hermatite gasket sealant ? Anything else I should be aware of when putting them on ?? Torque setting ? Thanks as always for your assistance Bob |

Re: Fitting new waterpumps
I usually put a little weather strip sealer on the pumps, set the gaskets on and put the bolts through the gasket side to hold the gasket on so the "glue" can set up, (no "glue" on the block side of the gasket). I also use a stainless steel bolt for the center (inside the water passage) I have never torqued water pump bolts, just tighten them down evenly. I’m sure others will have different methods of attachment but I’ve been doing it this way for almost 50 years.
