You ALWAYS user permatex where the pump meets the block. Even if you didn't need it to seal the pump face, it makes it easier to remove the gasket the next time you need to replace the pump.
Read the full replySorry about the million questions, but do both the water pump gasket and thermostat gasket require any sealant like permatex? Or does one both slip them in? The manual doesn't state it and was wondering if that was by mistake. Or does it rely on just proper bolt torque?

Thanks for the clarification. That's exactly what I'll use then.
