    Gasket sealant for water pump/oil pan?

    Forgive me if I was unable to find my question answered in the archives, but I have a question regarding to use a sealant or not to seal the oil pan gasket and the water pump gaskets.

    Honda BF 7.5 valve adjustment: Need to remove fuel pump first?

    I have tried to search the forum for my issue with no results, so I thought I would post. I'm a newbie here, have a 1985 BF75L (SN 170,000's), and have never checked the valve adjustment after many years of ownership. Quick question: does the fuel pump need to be removed prior to the valve...
