couldnt find anything related with searching...
just replaced water pump a few weeks ago, now its leaking again...
came with:
1 waterpump gasket
1 "coolant water inlet gasket"
1 rubber grommet for between water inlet and coolant/heater pipe.
leak is bottom corner between both gaskets, so cant tell til i dig in and just replace both...
"coolant water inlet gasket" looks like a smaller thermostat gasket.
is for under the fake thermostat housing on the drivers side of the block. (the O-ring goes inside that part to seal it to the heater pipe metal tube.
the only company that makes them solo is Victor Reinz pn: C31112
no stores in town sold a water inlet gasket, heater pipe gasket, coolant gasket, etc. not in their systems.
found that on autozone and went back. they tried to order, but said manufacturer is out of business.
Rock auto "had one in stock" i ordered, but got a call to cancel order, they cant get them either. google shopping gave me 2 options, rockauto, and another company(who i emailed, and also cant get them)
I need to find one of these damn gaskets somewhere without having to buy a whole new water pump just for that one tiny gasket...
if anyone knows other brand/pn, or another waterpump gasket kit that has this inside it... thanks
