AKghandi Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I already replaced the micky mouse gasket, but its still leaking. I pulled it back off to make sure the gasket was set properly, and it was. so I bought another micky mouse gasket, and I was wondering if a thin layer of anaerobic sealer around the outside of the gasket on the machined surface is a good idea.

BirdMobile Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 I sealed my EA82 oil pump with anaerobic + micky gasket last June. Also did my water pump without ANY gasket - just the anaerobic. Not a DROP of oil or water leaked to this day! Great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BirdMobile Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) P.S. I did a thin layer of Anaerobic outside AND inside the mickey gasket, don't worry - the excess will be washed away in the oil and won't cause problems.. One other thing - make sure the machined surfaces are FLAT, and parallel (no gaps) before applying anaerobic. Tighten the bolts with a torque wrench TO SPEC, in a zigzag pattern so you don't warp the oil pump while clamping. . .

BirdMobile Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 (edited) Oh yeah... almost forgot. Replace the O-Ring and oil seal while you're in there... those can lead to leaks and lifter "tick of death" too.
