Sump Gasket

[genuine honest person]

just got my new sump gasket today, going to change it on the weekend .it had no leeks but just wanted to take the sump of to have a look if it has any damage from the crash (bought engine out of a wrecked car ) also what internals it has (rods ) the engine had some work done to it from elite .so what I would like to know do I still use some silicone as well to seal it ,or only the rubber gasket ? also changing the harmonic balancer and water pump before fitting it all back into my ute just to be safe . ps does the harmonic balancer have a reverse thread ,just can not remmember

You can use sılıcon over gasket, threads on the balancer are not reverse and need a special tool to pull it out.You can also use a bit of silicon on the O ring that goes on to the water pipe that goes in to the water pump,to do a good job better take the steering pump off.
