96 Legacy Non Turbo Engine swap question

Post by terryg911 »

Hey Guys,

Do you use RTV cemet or some other adhexive on the waterpump gaskets. Specifically the one between the pump and the engine block? Or just gasket against clean surfaces?

Thanks

There is a metal gasket that should be used betweeen the water pump and engine block. Some aftermarket gaskets may not be metal, but you should use a gasket, not RTV.
