Thread: oil pump gasket

Tweet

Hi everyone, puting my 400 back together and have some questions, i go to put the new melling oil pump on and there was no gasket in the box, cant remember if it had one before. And also i forgot to use locktite on the rod bolts. THANKS ROB

never use a pump gasket anymore, i think yrs ago they put gaskets in the gasket set but stopped doing it. ive did it both ways saw no dif.

GM recommends you use an anaerobic sealant. Permatex makes one, it's expensive, like $20 for a tube. It will last you a lifetime, though. Kind of like a thing of anti seize. I've had the same small can for 4 years and I use that stuff on everything.

Thanks guys for all the replys very big help to me
