My clymer manual says to use a water resistant sealer on the new gaskets and on the pump bolt threads. Any suggestions or preferences as to what brand sealant?

I prefer the gray stuff myself. Other people like other kinds. You'll need to add sealer to the threads of the bolt that runs through the center of the pump. It'll be self explainatory when you remove it. 85 4Runner - With NEW Marlin 4.7 Gears!! It's a whole new beast!

It helps. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> '86 Toyo 4wd '04 600RR Re: Water pump replacement [Re: trickster] #789153 02/14/07 03:11 AM Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 15,887 Fairbanks, Alaska kewlynx Toyota & Classifieds Moderator Use a VERY THIN layer; otherwise you'll have goobers in the water jacket. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> Also use a 1/4" drive rachet to reassemble, so you don't break off the studs. NO, no torque value. The 3.0 pumps have a torque spec however. Make sure you turn on the heater and leave the radiator cap off when you reservice the coolant, so as to burp ALL the air out. http://www.walkablecommunities.org/ Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for dinner.

Kewlynx, the FSM doesnt list a torque spec, but my Clymer manual does (8-11 ft/lbs). I am curious why the recomendation for sealer on the bolt threads, it does not appear any are actually in water passages, though they are near.

Actually the torque specs I found are in the FSM under the "Standard Bolt Tightning Torque" section. You can find any bolts torque specs there.
