Oil Pump Gaskets, Which ones actually get used? Options

[Allan]

Here's my delimma (sp?). Got a new Melling HD oil pump. There are 2 gaskets in the box. One looks just like any other T4 oil pump gasket (Kinda square with a big round cut-out in the middle that the pump slides though and 4 small ones at the corners for the studs). The other was under the cover plate and is basically the same shape but has no big cut-out in the middle, only the small ones at the corners and is really thin, almost like parchment paper. Do I use the thin paper one under the cover?

Thanks

Jake doesn't use any. Just a thin layer of Loctite 518 under it and on the cover. You don't want a bunch in the oil pump. Also use it on all the through bolts and case fasteners. Great stuff! It anaerobic so it only sets up where there is no air which makes clean up easy cause it wipes off. It's kind of gooey so it will hold washers on while you're fishing for the nut.
