I finally bit the bullet and found an original new in the box water pump for my 332 on Ebay. I was going to rebuild mine but the cost was nearly the same for the new one. Mine leaked a little for a while then became significantly worse. My question concerns the gasket between the pump and the block. Do I need to put any sealer on the gasket before installing or is it usually installed dry?
