Taggy Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I have just come to the realisation that I havent put instant gasket on the rear of my new oil pump when i fitted it, looking at my old one i can see it had gasket on it. Is it going to leak like a sive if i dont take it off and put some on the back of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
turbo Grant Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I would say it will leak. Think there is 2 types one with an o-ring and one that is stuck on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russleh Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 i thought the type without the oring was for the block that has the o-ring in it. But as a precaution i went round the outside edge of the whole thing when doing mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
