I have seen many different products as I have searched threads.
What can I pick up at an autoparts store that will work the best for the waterpump gasket and what works best on the cork oilpan gasket?

TIA

blown 87

The only thing I use is Hylomar.

YAMABOND ( Manufactured By Yamaha)- Very highly recommended

Permatex, Ultrabond Black?

I've always put the pumps in dry: for pan gaskets, I used the thin cork/neoprene composite gasket - also installed dry.
Still anxiously awaiting my first leak ..... yawn ...

I used high-temp Permatex RTV "gasket maker". I think there are a number of products, the key is even application, and don't lay down a real thick bead.

Bernie

Is this the gray sealer?
I have a tube of what is called MotoSeal 1 by Permatex which I believe is Permatex's version of Yamabond if I am not mistaken?

Cheers

As you know, that's the way the factory did it and I can't see a problem with that if you've got fresh, smooth surfaces, even though DEVEK and other 928 shops encourage Yamabond. I haven't had any problems with Yamabond (or equivalent). I thought it might make the oil pan gasket more likely to squeeze out (Yamabond stays semi-liquid), but mine (original cork style) has been fine for the 3 years since I installed it. My presumption is that shops use Yamabond because it covers them if there happens to be a defect in the sealing surfaces, or, say, a small fleck of old gasket they may not have noticed.

Yamabond it is then.....
Going out to mount my new WP.

Bern: Any of the non-hardening Yamabond equivalents work fine for the WP. I've used Yamabond, Hondabond, Threebond and Hylomar at various times. Hylomar is the best looking - beautiful, deep translucent blue.

I use permatex copper spray-a-gasket. All of the RTV sealants are kind of messy and as some have said, require the user to apply them evenly, use the correct amount, etc. I just spray the stuff on the gasket and let it set up for a few minutes and install. It has decent adhesive properties which is nice as it holds the gasket in place while you install the part. Removal can be a pain but that's why they make gasket remover as well.

Yamabond cleans up with brake cleaner.

Gasket remover: a tip from experience - I tried Wurth gasket remover one time and it nearly burned my skin off while working no better than Permatex. You could probably take a bath in Permatex's gasket remover.
