can you replace a water pump gasket without replacing the whole water pump?
Of course you can they are two seperate items. Obviously you have to remove the pump to remove the gasket. Just make sure that the pump is in good condition, and use a little gasket silicone on the gasket. Dont overdo it with the silicone, just a thin smear on each side. Also make sure all traces of the old gasket are carefully removed from the pump and the block face. Any dirt or old gasket remnants left will cause a leak, so double check before replacing the pump to its position. Cheers
Yes, but for all the work involved, it is usually best to just replace the pump while your there, I know Would !
Yes. Just make sure that the pump it-self is not leaking out of a small hole (aka weep hole) or the shaft that drives the pump. and romove the old gasket completly. clean very well. both pump and motor.
