| Hello Fellow Spridgeteers:
I recently replaced a cast iron water pump with a new one from Moss that
was aluminum.  I has been fine for a couple of months but now is leaking
where it mates to the block.  It could be a gasket failure (my fault)
but I wonder what experiences others have had with this newer pump.  Are
there any special precautions I should have observed when I installed
the new one?  I am going to take it back off and check it out, should I
use a silicone gasket sealant or just put a new gasket on and try it? 
What about torque settings with the aluminum vs. the iron casting?
Thanks for all your assistance;
