Hi Mini people-
I'm replacing my leaky water pump, and the Haynes manual says to lightly smear the gasket with "gasket compound". That sounds like a magic elixir for gaskets, and I'm sure that I want to smear the gasket with some of that stuff, but what is it? I have some blue RTV silicone gasket maker... is that close?
Related question: for cleaning up the block at the gasket interface, will mineral spirits do the trick? Or is there another preferred cleaner?
Thanks for your inputs.
