I thought the dealer told me this thin metallic gasket goes on dry, but the Haynes and Chiltons manuals show using sealer. The old water pump gasket was similar to the type of metallic head gaskets (metallic gasket sprayed with some black coating). The replacement gasket I am referring to is the same, just not sure if sealer is used due to conflicting info. Couldn't find this issue in any search. Doesn't seem to be any evidence of any clear lube used on the old one, definitely no RTV was used. I believe these go on dry if I recall. Any takers?

The metal gasket does go on dry though FYI. Just torque the bolts to correct spec.
