Water pump selant required beside rubber gasket?
Haynes manual states to use RTV sealant in addition to the rubber
gasket. Helmes manual does not say to use rtv sealant. What do you use?

I always use a small amount of RTV selant. The instructions for
installing the waterpump usually also recommend the RTV. I use a small bead of the red stuff right on top of the rubber gasket. Make sure the engine-side mating surface is nice and clean. - Justin

If Honda thought glue was necessary, it would have been there from the factory. They have this annoying concept of making parts fit correctly without glue. 'Curly'
