I have a quick question about the water pump gasket. I have a 94 explorer limited that I'm fixing up. I just got it back on the road about 2 weeks ago since rebuilding almost the whole truck LOL
Anyways, I replaced the water pump with a brand new one when I had the motor out. I did the usally light film of rtv on the timing cover and then some on the water pump with the gasket between.
Well after about 200 miles in a week I noticed i was missing some coolant. Well after looking around I noticed it leaking out of the water pump mounting gasket. Now the question is do I need to use rtv on this gasket or not? I know the felpro gasket is paper but also has a strip of rubber? down the center of it?
Any ideas would be great cause I do not want to do this again, LOL
