Gasket

[DNK]

Anybody have a spare water pump housing gasket for the 6.
80¢ part $14 shipping

Whack one out with a six-ounce ball-pean and a roll of NAPA gasket material, Don!

I see you can get the water pump at autozone but not the gasket. Sometimes I find common spitfire parts at the local stores depending on the part.

just checked... have most others <span style="font-style: italic">except</span> the water pump
PM me if you need a different gasket.

It's not the WP gasket.
It's the housing to the engine side

Or if you don't have the gasket material handy, a piece of dense (not corrugated) cardboard will work. Eg a shoebox, or the cardboard sheet that comes with pads of notepaper.

right..... still don't have that one.

A thin coat of a gasket maker such as The Right Stuff from Permatex will eliminate the need of the fiber gasket.

I have gasket material so I guess I'll make it. Should I put the "Blue" stuff on it?

 

[DougF]

A light coat of RTV on both sides of the gasket would help.

Thanks for the reminder gents.
