keiser31 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I would put a very thin layer of sealer on each side of the gasket. Are you certain you are supposed to use two gaskets? That usually leads to leaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Commodore Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 The reason classic.car.fan has two gaskets for his Lincoln's water pump is that the Lincoln uses a water pump plate. So you have a gasket between the block and plate and between plate and pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
