I have a Shadek pump adapted for Type 4 (which I know some people don't like). The first time I installed the pump cover I did not use a gasket, just case-sealant. For the second time around, should I use a gasket under the cover?

With a moderate amount of pressure, I got a thickness of .0025.
If I have gear clearance in the pump, relative to the pump face of around .001, that give me .0035 total clearance with the gasket installed and compressed. I think that should be right. Right? Attached thumbnail(s) |

I would say you are right on the money. get it together and hopefully that was your leakage issue. |
