Q:I will be replacing my water pump tomorrow and my question is can I use copper spay gasket to spray on the water pump gasket?it this stuff good?99 ford explorer 4.0 ohv with 144k,mileshere is a pictures of the product.

Sure, why not? Usually, the metal area when most water pumps are bolted too are cleaned with a scraper of some kind and old gasket matter is removed. That surface should be cleaned, flat, and free of irregularity. Most mechanics, if they use any kind of stickum - like contact cement from a tube, or the costlier, but not-needed specialty sealers, is applied to the pump surface so the gasket stays put and not move when installing the bolts. The glue does not do any actual sealing, just the fiber gasket will. None needs to be applied to the engine side that you scraped clean. Make sense to you? It's probably a good idea to service the cooling system with a non-caustic flush cleaner before hand -since all the coolant will come out during the change. Then add a additive that neutralizes acids with the new anti-freeze.

Q:Okay heres the deal Its knockin and I tthink the water pump is going would this be a cause of this and when it heats up it knocks but when its cold it doesnt knock also once it gets hot it shuts off and starts to smoke what could this be is it maybe the waterpump when I try to re start the car after it shuts it self off it only just clicks wount turn over thanks

jason is right on this. a water pump wont do what your saying. it sounds more like something inside the engine is knocking, like a rod bearing.

Q:1996 Eagle Vision tsi,has a small coolant leak,was told it iso.k. due to a water pump pressure release valve?has anyone heard of this on an auto?I thought they were only in hot water tanks at home.

the biggest concern i could have is the conceivable loss of lubricity with water yet from the photos on the assorted web content evidently to be a pump that's often used for rigidity washers. if so water should not be undertaking. If it could pump water then it ought to have the flexibility to pump oil additionally. no be counted if that's a kit pump then it won't pump water for terribly long earlier there's a undertaking. frequently kit pumps for water have nylon or comparable sort of gears. no be counted if that's a plunger pump then is the packing is lubricated or made out of telfon then it is going to likely be ok. A piston sort pump will prefer the two lubrcation for water provider or telfon rings and packing.

Q:how do I know my water pump failed. 98 mustang V6 started to leak coolant from the front lower part of the the engine. How do I know for sure my pump is bad? Did refill and kept on leaking as I manage to get home. Little help please!

A leaky radiator could also be the cause of leaking coolant. Sometimes waterpumps rattle as they're dying.

Q:I Have a 1982 Suzuki DT8 Outboard motor, i rebuilt the water pup, new impeller, wear plate, all that. This is the first time iv run it in a barrel, it wont pump water now. But here is the thing, when i take the inspection cover off(the little round cover that lets you acces the shift linkage), and i run the motor, it will pump water. i noticed that wile i have that cover off all the exhaust comes out that hole and not out the bottom, is the exhaust getting sucked in the pump and stopping it from circulating water?

I have the same problem, as soon as the inspection cover is off it pumps. The service guy mentioned a dodgy head gasket allowing it to pressurize the shaft cavity. Im not sure about this. I wondered about the copper / brass out feed line being not seated in the rubber grommet? Any ideas welcome.
