"Silicone sealant MUST be used on all the water pump gaskets on installation."

There is an OPINIONS forum for statements like THAT.

I've NEVER used silicone sealant on a water pump job. Maybe a few dabs of permatex to hold the paper gasket in place. Plus a thin wipe of silicone grease on the top gasket and return pipe o-ring.
