Is it true that there is no gasket - that you just seal the water pump with silicone and you're good to go? Have N1 water pump in hand to install but my mechanic is like "uh, where's the gasket?"...but I haven't been able to turn up anything other than "it doesn't exist - use silicone"....truth or fiction?

true!!!!! especially with the n1 pump!! tends to leak if you use a gasket.. use ultra blue on it and your set to go mate:thumbsup:

Noticed the same thing when I got my new waterpump. Are they all N1?

Thx

Yep - sealing gunk is what you use :thumbsup:

bloody hell, fooking mechanic left out the pump when he built my engine, citing the lack of a gasket. Argh. At least the water pump is fairly accessible....
