When installing a water pump(84) should silicone be applied to the gaskets
that join the water pipes to the head/block or is a new gasket enough? What
is best? Seems to me that the purpose of the new gasket is to do it's job
and silicone wouldn't be necessary, but then plumbing doesn't always work
out that way. Thanks for your thoughts--I'm waiting patiently as the
put-back is on hold until I find out.
Thanks!
Jay
FWIW, Bentley doesn't mention anything except gaskets.
