RE: Water pump sealing tips?
i take a close look at every part i install on anything, just because i've dealt with crap like this too much. after about 5 defective parts installed on customer vehicles, you start lookin over everything.

At work I use air craft glue from the parts store. Its really tachy and seals pretty good. When you buy a new water pump make sure you pull the backing plate off and put some on both sides of that gasket too. It will never leak. Also when bolting down a water pump I always try to make a cross of the bolts tightening them down so nothing warps.
