Thats what I been told when fitting a water pump


Thing is, where can I buy it from!

 

hylomar red aint it

but why you would use it on a water pump i really dont know,,,,,, a gasket should be all thats needed as its not a hot part of the engine,,,, CAUSE THE WATER IS WHAT SHOULD BE KEEPING THE ENGINE TEMPS DOWN

think you will just need hylomar rather than the red stuff,,,, if you need any !!!

 

ps: halfords sell it, if not ill find a motorfactors near you that does

 

I 'aquired' mine from work Rad

 

Blacktite - can do anything with that shit

 

This is whats been said...

 

Just got another 4 weeks off work, Fuck going back for gasket sealer

 

theres no gasket on there,, that makes sence then i guess

WHAT A FUCKING SHITE IDEA THOUGH

 

dont see why high temp though,,, thats what you use to bodge up K- series engines headgaskets with and hope they dont let go for a few months

water pump and subject to flames

 

Reckon some silicone sealant will do then ?

 

How do i get this time off? Go into the docs with my pants on my head, pencils up nose, and saying Wibble over and over again?

 

dont see why not tbh,,,,, but then again dont silicon sealent contain vinegars of some sort,,,,, maybe its not a good idea

just get some what will says

 

Loctite Blacktite - bout £7 for a tube but it does anything. Gearboxes, diffs, oil returns, WATER PUMPS, etc.

 

Nash MSN me mate... I dont wanna put it up on the forum

Big Will 85 Will get that then!

 

halfords sell it

 

Bargain.. Will go in the morning...


Fuck actually, I gotta be up at half 7 to go round my mates

 

Radders if you were up @ gone 2am why did'nt you bloody reply to my txt before 10pm earlyer
Or have you a new number

 

I have a new number mate! Whats up...

 

Nothing se your RR Day post Fingers crossed

 

Use a COMETIC re useable gasket here, no leak no sealer.
Ohterwise LOCTITE 5900 or 5910, can be used as well as or instead of a gasket.
Other RTV gasket stuff do contains acids that are used to cure the sealant, but will cause no harm used in this area.
It does not need to be high temp stuff at all, as only gets to around 95C here, silicone gasket is ok so long as not near water or oil!!

No wonder there are so many people with fucked engines these days

Do ford / vauxhall jam loads of sealer on everything when they assemble engines ??? NO, they dont

If you had an engine rebuilt buy a reputable builder . Mark shead / harvey etc etc , would they jam every gasket with sealer ???,,NO,,

WHY WHY WHY do people ramm loads of sealer on gaskets , it actualy makes it easeier to leak than just fitting a quality gasket

SR20's don't have a gasket as standard for the water pump.

Well, the two i've taken apart haven't.

 

lead_foot its true, when we done my mates GTiR engine we used
Red Hermetite on the water pump.

 

Red Hermetite is what you need..............dont listen to everyon else about using gaskets, there IS no gasket this is how it was fitted from the factory on the SR20DE/T

clean the surfaces 1st well, and make sure you do bolt the pump back evenly a bit at a time.

 

just as well you dont build nissan engines then cause when you buy a engine gasket set you get very few gaskets and a tube of sealer!!!

may be because japs can machine 2 flat surfaces they dont need gaskets

ive yet to see a freshly built yb engine that doesnt have a leak,believe me rebuilt nissan engines dont leak.....

 

The thing you are forgetting paul is, when ford fit bits together they are done with new bits which are corrosion free no distortion at all.
As some cossie are now over 20 years old this will not be the case.
If it takes a bit of sealer to stop a leak, what does it matter, surely it is better to stop the leak rather than have a leak just cause someone doesn't like sealer, or because ford did not use any.
Ford don't always get it right, like the almighty cock up with cossie cooling systems, which they rejigged with the 4x4.
Rolls Royce use sealer on BRAND NEW JET ENGINES, as do USAF on fighters, with brand new components.
It would be intersting to see how a sealer can cause leaks, most likely the leak was there to start with, hence the sealer, and the sealer failed to cure it!!

i get my instant gasket from finnings in peterborough for rebuilding the caterpillars although shouldnt need it, the old cats are 30 years old now so its a must or leeks everywhere. i took of and cleaned out an engine oil cooler on a cat d8k 2 weeks ago as oil was overheating and it was full of silicon and instant gasket fucking stuff gets everywhere. sometimes you have no choice but to use it though

 

All radders wanted to know was where to buy it from and look whots happened ww3 has started

 

I dunno about you, but i wouldnt want water from an engine running at full operating temp poured on to my genitals.

So id call it hot.

 

ill let you have half a tube mate but its getting it to you

 

uneven application

 

its hot for skin yeah,,,,, but its not hot enough to loosen the sealent or melt a gasket though is it

i wouldnt wanna poor petrol on my balls and ignite them when a spark plug either,,,,, but id poor it in a engine and set fire to it

maybe its cause ones safe to doe and the other one only a mental patient would do


coolent on older cars dont go over 100 degrees and on newer cars to a maxe of 120 degrees,,,,,, the fire rings og a head gasket go a "little" bit over this im sure
