water pump gasket

In the middle of timing belt/water pump job. So far the hardest part is that the WP gasket came out of the box a little bent so it wont sit flat on the locating pins on the block. I am afraid that when i place the pump, I am going to shift the gasket.

Any tricks, like a little glue/cement on the pump and put on the pump first?

    Never on the block, just the pump. Read the thread:

      I used a super thin smear of pipe dope. I hope it is OK.
      Pain in the ASS. The hardest part of the job. Mostly because i know if the gasket doesn't sit right the thing will leak. It always comes down to the cheapest part.
