    Mine was leaking recently as well. I didn't use anything but black rtv, and it sealed up great. I would skip the gasket if I were you.

    It was the backing plate gasket.. New one is on the way!

    A layer of black RTV works for that one too. :grin:

    Is it leaking from the hole under the pump? Or from the actual pump to timing cover seal. If its leaking from the hole under the water pump then you need a new one.

    Every build I have seen from Sweden has typically been top notch work. Nice job.

    Thanks guys!
    Really a milestone for me, so happy after the drawbacks in my life!

    Next up is making some kind of exhaust.. Thinking dual 3" from downpipe!

    Changed my copper gaskets back to my used pro form aluminum and it sealed right up...

    I'm not sure...
    I have built it to work with e85 but maybe I run premium gasoline..
    The engine management have support for a flex fuel sensor, maybe I have it tune for both..

    If E85 is easily available I would use it. Only tune for it to make things easier.

    Another ignition coil took a dump on me... Fu*king china sh*it !
    Ordered me some MSD coils now...

    Like 99TTGT quoted Benjamin franklin
