Reason not to use RX8 engine
balidey - 5/5/11 at 07:02 AM

If you are considering using an RX8 engine then bear this in mind.
If the water pump ever needs replacing, could you bring yourself to ordering and fitting the required gasket?

The manual states:

Remove covers insert gasket

Should that be greased before it is inserted?

I've heard it leaks at one end

Looks exactly like kames racetrack except it hangs the other side!

Sorry don't see the issue.

Look at the shape of it, then consider the comments made above about inserting, and greasing.
You should get it, if not then you are to mature for us

as my 30th birthday nears, the smutty comments went straight over my head
I honestly didn't realise until I showed someone else.

I looked at this post earlier and thought 'oh maybe there's some technical reason it would be difficult to fit' and 'I am a bit of a mechanical duffer so I won't comment less I look a fool'. Then I look back and realise that it looks like a big willy and your all immature. hehe

Wow..... you know those designers had to have a good laugh about that. VERY subtle.

I'm thinking I need a bigger gasket now

Very similar to the 3S-GTE one:
