Hi

Does anyone know if the Reinzosil brand sealant is suitable for the water/oil pump.
I prefer three bond but it's expensive.


Cheers

Reinzosil sealant is GOOD!
Use it.

Cheers

Thank you for your replies.
I have Reinzosil and was hoping I could put it to some use.
Do I apply a bead or a thin smear. Either way, I find it difficult to understand how either application method will avoid contact with the gears.

Cheers

Instructions for pump to block joint:  Apply a bead of a thin diameter around the circumference of the pump.  Ensure you put a circle of sealant around each bolt hole.  There is one spot where the sealant must be applied in a way that WON'T seal up a vent hole on the pump.

Water pump sealant 00210110

Install the cover after applying the sealant, but only hand tighten the bolts so that the sealant is slightly squeezed.  Let dry 20-40 minutes.  Then apply final torque to the bolts and leave to dry at least 24 hours and preferably more.

I always apply the sealant to the cover, not the block. Less chance of smearing the stuff where it isn't wanted (in theory).
