[MBZ] Gasket sealer for water pump installation?
Well I'm back to working on the enigmatic overheating '78 240D. I removed the water pump a few weeks ago to inspect it. Nothing obviously wrong with it. It was installed with both the paper/fiber gasket and a gasket sealer. Is this recommended? Should I also use both or just the fiber/paper gasket? I'm using a new gasket of course which I made from gasket paper stock. What do you all think?

Re: [MBZ] Gasket sealer for water pump installation?
I think you are only supposed to use the paper gasket. But I always put a little Permatex on it anyway, which makes it a bit more of a bother to clean off next time, but that is in the future... --R On 12/15/14 11:59 AM, dseretakis--- via Mercedes wrote: Well I'm back to working on the enigmatic overheating '78 240D.

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.

Re: [MBZ] Gasket sealer for water pump installation?
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?

Re: [MBZ] Gasket sealer for water pump installation?
I went without the sealer, just my homemade gasket. No leaks. I also replaced the thermostat with an OE Mercedes part from the classic center. No overheating yet but I haven't tried the car on the highway. Prior to this it overheated while idling. This car's behavior is inconsistent so I won't hold my breath!!

Re: [MBZ] Gasket sealer for water pump installation?
Maybe having the car sit for a few weeks after is overheating episodes fixes it for a while? Not sure why. Perhaps a head issue that seals itself shut after sitting? If it overheats again, I will do leakdown test. Sent from my iPhone On Dec 15, 2014, at 5:30 PM, Curt Raymond via Mercedes mercedes@okiebenz.com wrote: That was the super frustrating thing.
