replacing water pump: Do I need thread sealant on the bolts that enter water jacket?
My old water pump is off and hours later,...got all the gasket off the block. When putting it back together, do I need to use thread sealant on the long bolt(s) that go into the water jacket? Also, I watched Atlantic British's video on this, (they don't say anything about thread sealant and neither does the Rave),...and they suggest using a spray gasket tack on the block side of the gasket. The Rave doesn't say anything about either the thread sealant or gasket sealant.
Thinking I should just go back with the gasket dry. Don't know on the thread sealant.
Those of you who have done this,....did you go back dry with bolts and gaskets? if so,...were you leak free afterwards?
