why do the last water pumps shown require the sealant instead of using a paper or metal gasket?

[@andrew_r]

GMB Water Pump PDF says: "Apply liquid sealant lightly and evenly on both sides of new gasket. Do not apply sealant for O ring or metal gasket." I am confused. Who is right?

Hi, It's really useful information. What torque recommendations would you recommend for paper gasket water pumps? Does paper gasket compromise its durability if it comes into contact with water/coolant during installation?

[@NathanCelica]

Hi, i have an Aisin WPT-129V waterpump ready to be installed on my 1AZFE Toyota engine. It came with a paper gasket, however the video says i should use silicone? what should i do?

[@NathanCelica]

Update; apperantely the WPT-129V is made in Korea, and will start to leak quickly again. Have orderd an OEM pump and will use silicone

Why coat the WT-800 with coolant?

[@aisinaftermarket-awa6411]

Hello Aaron. Coating we mention in the video is mostly for the Rubber type Gaskets/Seals. If the Seal is being inserted into a tube or other it protects the Seal from damage and allows easier installation. Greases and other chemicals can compromise the Seals ability to seal correctly.

Hello, The WPM-055 water pump need Formed-in-place-gasket (FIPG)? or a paper gasket?

[@Animal_lives_matter]

Hello, I am about to replace my water pump with WPM-055. Google image search shows it comes with a paper gasket: pubimg.4mycar.ru/images/full/057e3a3f2755c2e0b3fc6107f155cb06a3f6b70002.jpeg According to the video @ 0:58: [NEVER USE SEALANT]

[@phattidaesalmomykiss9203]

Why is gasket sealant not recommended for the WT-800 pump?

[@aisinaftermarket-awa6411]

Hi Aaron. For the WPT-800 we include a card showing the only location that sealant is required for the installation. Sealant cannot be used with the Gaskets included in this Water Pump.

[@kingfreedom1863]

If the gasket goes does that mean the water pump goes as well or can you just replace a gasket

[@aisinaftermarket-awa6411]

Hello King Freedom. Thank you for your comment. If you are 100% sure the gasket is the cause of the problem, it should be okay to just replace the gasket. However, we recommend you to replace water pump along with the gasket.

[@jonarbuckledeeznuts]

its not worth tearing everything apart just to replace the gasket, especially when the water pump isn't that expensive anyway

[@TheKingOfHalo]

@@jonarbuckledeeznuts That’s debatable with the quality of automotive parts these days. The oem part may last much longer than a replacement part.
