Water pump gaskets. 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be mario on  Wed Mar 19 05:23 CST 2008 [RELATED]

Hello,

Some funny wiggling of my temperature gauge caused me to pop the hood and check my cooling system. It was about a half gallon low with apparent leakage from behind the water pump pulley. This is a B20E engine. I have a pump on another block that is relatively new that I am planning on swapping in. I am assuming that I will need new gaskets, but I am curious about the rubber rings that seal to the head.
I seem to remember the guy who sold me the engine say that he had done all he could to get the Kjet system running on low octane gas, but I can't remember if that included a low compression gasket. I also remember that they sell rubber sealing rings that are a bit taller that go with these gaskets.
Without knowing which head gasket I have, which rubber rings should I get? Does it make a difference? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
