gasket sealer or no gasket sealer?

Roloc pads are awesome too.

One tip - put the gaskets in place without sealer, snub it up... not torqued to spec but tight and make sure the waterpump spins freely. I've had, on more than one occasion, a waterpump whoes impeller was not in the proper place and bound against the housing. You can imagine the noise and belt chewage that insued preceding the foul words that were emmited.
