1985 Ford F-150 - Water Pump Gasket

Ford F-Series Water Pump Gasket

When it comes time to replace the water pump on your Ford F-Series, or if you are doing other repairs that require the removal of the water pump, use a new water pump gasket to prevent the possibility of future coolant leaks. The water pump is sealed against the engine block or timing cover with a water pump gasket that helps to prevent coolant leaks near the water pump's inlet or outlet. Over time, water pump gaskets can become hard and brittle, or they may shrink and allow coolant to leak from the water pump. Any coolant leak carries the risk of overheating the engine and causing damage, so the water pump gasket should be replaced if you've noticed a leak or if the water pump is being replaced. O'Reilly Auto Parts carries water pump gaskets, water pumps, and coolant for your Ford F-Series truck to help keep it driving and performing like new.
