I am replacing the water pump on my 1937 Chevy 1 1/2 ton truck with a 216 engine. My rebuilt water pump came with a thin cardboard (paper) gasket. I'm trying to determine if I need to use some sort of gasket sealer to get a good leak free seal. I thought I would search the internet for a quick answer. I think I'm more confused now than I was before as there are about as many opinions as there are people posting. So I decided to ask the experts on here since many of you have "been there and done that" with this specific engine. Gasket sealer or not and if so what kind?

Thanks,

Brian
