[QUOTE="Vegas Sporty, post: 1051576, member: 74136"] Picked up the new water pump at dealership. They matched the price from ford.com. $113.00. I Was wondering who makes this water pump and label on box indicates Germany. Interesting that where the oem motor is from I believe. Anyway upon inspection I noticed it came with a metal gasket. Not familiar with this type except with a head gasket types. I know using a metal gasket you need to make sure your bolts and threads are very clean so you get a true torc (89 in pd) on the bolts to seat the metal gasket. Comments about the metal type is that they are used for high temperature and pressure applications. Aftermarket pumps come with paper and after gooping them up with sealer before install. Should I go with the metal and clean the threads and bolts or just get a paper and goop it up? [/QUOTE]
