To install a new water pump gasket, it will need to be trimmed in 3 places as shown in the above photo. In order to remove the original gasket from the engine, you will also need to trim the old gasket in the same points. |
The original gasket covered the water pump and item next to it with one gasket. If yours is original, you need to trim the gasket in the car, and trim the new gasket to just service the water pump. If someone has swapped WP, just trim the new gasket.
