are the gaskets for the oil pump required or can i just use high temp silicone? no one in town has the gasket.. i need to special order it but dont have alot of time, so i need it now..
NO! a gasket is required. Do not cheap out on something that important. There's quite a bit of vendors on here that have it and can be shipped to you in a couple of days
mitsubishi has to special order it and wont be here till monday. but i dont have alot of time to work on it so i kind of need it now.. i guess ill have to wait it out. thank you
I would use a gasket, just to be on the safe side. I thought about doing that too but figured i might as well put one on. Figured they made it for a reason right.
Go to your local parts store and ask for, Felpro TCS45565-1. It is stocked at most parts stores or available the next day. IT includes all the gaskets and seals for the oil pump. IT is like 8 bucks.
not to hijack this thread or anything, but I have a new rebuild with a new front case / pump & new oil filter housing, new gaskets used everywhere all with proper torque specs and for some reason I have a small oil leak what appears to be the front case crakshaft seal, only when running and when the oil gets warm..
how could this happen Oil should be used around the seal before installation correct? like I said all new gaskets where used but it's hard to belive it came bad from the factory.

It's possible that you damaged the seal when putting the pump on. You could have rolled the spring out of it.
Same thing happened to me, cam shaft seal pushed out enough to just dump oil when the car rev'ed. Put it back in only for it to come out again and be even worst. Replaced it with a new one that was exactly the same and it worked. Not sure what was wrong with the first one tho.
