Troubleshooting & FAQ
How do I know if this gasket will fit my exact engine model?
The best way to confirm is by checking your original part number against the ones listed in our Part Number Matrix. You can also review the detailed Engine & Model Compatibility table on this page. If you are still unsure, please contact us with your engine's model and serial number before ordering.
What are the signs of a failing water pump gasket?
A failed upper water pump gasket can cause a water leak around the pump housing, leading to an overheating engine, reduced water pressure (weak "telltale" stream), or water intrusion into the gearcase. It should be replaced as part of regular impeller service to prevent these issues.
Can I reuse my old gasket?
No. Gaskets compress to create a seal and are designed for single use. Reusing an old gasket will likely result in an improper seal, leading to leaks and potential engine damage. Always use a new gasket when servicing the water pump.
