September 27, 201411 yr 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.
September 27, 201411 yr 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.
September 27, 201411 yr 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. . . Edited September 27, 201411 yr by BirdMobile
September 27, 201411 yr 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.
