Re: Leaky water pump 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be Rob Kuhlman on  Wed Nov 14 06:38 CST 2001 [RELATED]

RTV stands for 'room temperature vulcanizing', I believe. It's a nickname for the blue Permatex. Black would work fine as well, I bet. I've always used the blue on this gasket. I coat both inner and outer surfaces of the O ring, then slip it on the pipe, then use the bolt through the water pump body and the tang on the pipe to draw the pipe into the water pump body. I haven't had any trouble with leaks at this connection since I've begun to use the blue Permatex.
