I need to replace the pump on the missus 1.1.

I've got a replacement pump and a new steel gasket.
The Haynes doesn't say anything about using gasket sealant with the gasket. But would it be wise to use sealant anyway?
It's not going to do any harm right?

Jason.

Use grease like you would with rocker cover gasket
Do not silicone
Wouldn't use harlamar either mainly cos I don't like it
Grease works really well as it seals and drys when gets hot but unlike and sealer is completely harmless to moving parts other option is welseal much same as grease and used to seal factory matched surfaces

I'd seal it for peace of mind.

I was going to use hammerite blue ( it's what I have in I think ).

I need to seal the oil pump on my zetec too. But that's an engine out jobbie. :(

I would deffo put a light smear of something on both surfaces for the simple reason I wouldn't want to do it twice.

Anyway, good to see a familiar face still keeping the fiestas going strong!
