So I've got the 240's water pump out, and there's no play at all in the pulley. The gasket was shot, and the car's been losing coolant, which looks like the gasket was at fault. Is it ok to just replace the gasket? I have a new pump and gasket, so I would much rather return the pump and just use the gasket if I can... good idea? bad idea? There's absolutely no play whatsoever in the pulley, no resistance from the mechanism... I hear a slight rubber squeak noise when I turn the old pulley, but other than that and a bit more resistance from the new pump than the old, the two are exactly the same. Help me out here!
