Listers - While changing my water pump this weekend I overtightened the nuts on the water outlet pipe and cracked it. For those of you in Virginia wondering where that blue streak in the sky came from, it came from my garage. Anyway, I rummaged around the parts bin and found another. Only problem is when I set it down on the workbench the mating surface is slightly warped. Any suggestions or do I just use an extra thick gasket and plenty of goop? Can I lightly sand this down to make it more "true"? Scott Christie Series 3 Alpine Registry USA
