water pumps on 36

ken ct

BANNED
Should i put some kind of sealer on the WP's on a 36,how about the bolts. I think there blind holes dont go into the water jackets? ken ct. Like to install tomorrow please. ken ct. Can i get some help here. NO luck on the "Chevybarn".:)
 
no sealer just some heavy grease on the gasket to hold it in place untill you get a couple of bolts started, the gasket will compress enough to seal
 
I'd be inclined to apply some anti-sieze to the bolts even if they are not exposed to the water jacket. Just use grease on the gasket per ford1.
 
thanks both of you much,dont even need the grease the bolts will hold it in place and was thinking of the anti-seize. ken ct.
 
Clean the block or in your case the head surface good and put a thin coat of grease on both sides of the gasket. G.M.
