bgambino Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 on another thread I had multiple topics going on I asked about putting sealant (or not) on the back plate of the oil pump when reassembling I got one guess that someone just coated the surfaces with oil Anyone else?? will be working on this is a few hours 95 legacy 2.2L non turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec03 Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Of course you can't just put oil on it and expect it to seal. Others will specify the sealant. When I did my 97 I used a gasket from advanced auto, but almost everyone else uses a gasket former on the oil pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted October 24, 2015 Share Posted October 24, 2015 No sealant on the backing plate. Yes, coat the rotors and the inner surface of the plate with fresh oil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
