Im installing a new water pump housing gasket. 91 n/a
should i use rtv or copper spray on it? Some people say to just use lithium grease to prevent it from sticking.
Also should I use anti seize on the water pump housing bolts and nuts?

 

I used Permatex Aviation gasket sealer. https://www.permatex.com/products/ga...-liquid-16-oz/

 

i use RTV. a little anti seize on the bolt/studs isn't a bad idea either

 

Wait, why not just use an oem gasket?

 

@maaaaackle I bought an oem gasket from atkins.

I was asking if I should add a little atv or copper spray to the gasket during installation.

 

I've always added Permatex Ultra Grey RTV to the gasket. Works great!

 

I use that s**t on everything (just bolts and nuts, even suspension), your future self will thank you if you do. I don't use it on lug nuts, think about the application.

 

Dry and Clean is the way to go.
