Title: Water pump to rear coolant rail interface Post by: mangocrazy on January 28, 2021, 08:39:08 PM Simple question - does the o-ring suffice or should one also use a gasket? If it's the latter I'll probably have to resort to making one, as I don't appear to have one in my full engine set...

I made a gasket. I was not prepared to trust the o ring alone. Eric Title: Re: Water pump to rear coolant rail interface Post by: mangocrazy on January 29, 2021, 02:59:12 PM Thanks Eric. I'll do the same.

I always run a flat stone over the flange to true it up. Good point. I'll do that when I'm next in the proximity of the part in question.Ian Cheers, Graham |
