    Hi all,

    OK so I am about to install the water pump on my '58 F head and would like opinions on what sealer folks would use. Pretty sure "do not install it dry" is standard, but any opinions?

    Thanks!

    That works too. #2 non hardening is my preference.

    Yeah I know its pretty much the same stuff, just figured it might be a little more coolant resistant....

    Might be. Besides, it says "water pump" right on the package.:D
