Sapper 157 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I got the kit for rebuilding my EA81's oil pump, and found that the body gasket was a flimsy paper gasket. Is it advisable to put a light coating of ultra grey silicon on the body gasket before installation? Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazyeights Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I use Loctite 518 flange sealant on mine and none have leaked yet. If you do choose Ultra Grey/Fuji/Toyota/Nissan Bond then I would apply it sparingly. You don't want any inside the pump where the rotor is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrgvanman Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I do believe it is to be assembled without a sealant but I don't think that Ultra Grey will really hurt if used sparingly. I did mine dry and seems fine as the O-rings are what really seals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
