Ever since I have geyser out of the thermostat housing on my Farmall Super M (which reminds me the thermostat has failed in that tractor and needs redoing) I've used something. Lately I like Hylomar although I'm not sure its recommended for water pumps. It worked out sweet on the case halves of a snowmobile engine I did crank seals on last year. -Curt From: OK Don via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> To: dsereta...@yahoo.com; Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Monday, December 15, 2014 1:54 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] Gasket sealer for water pump installation? I always use a gasket sealer because I don't want to have to go back again if it leaks. I use the permatex family of products because that's what my Dad used.
