I am guilty! I am guilty! I admit that used gasket sealer (the shame!) on my new water pump and low temp t-stat. I am a product of what my dad taught me back in the day when cars needed new water pumps yearly.

I still check the gap on spark plugs too. I gotta start to realize that its not 1974 anymore.
