Waterpump Gasket needed

Would anyone know where I can order a Waterpump Gasket for my 225 Buick V6 ??

Or should I just make one out of gasket silicone?

I removed it to check how good it was, found out its PERFECT...NO wear. The Leg is going in to have the Impeller changed, as that HAS to be the over-heating culprit.

Thanks, Scott
 
Any aoto parts store should have gasket maker material. Overheat?? What we working on? If it's OLD it could be the risers or manifold. Explain what's happening.Does it take a while for it to overheat? Does it only overheat above a certain RPM? Explain?

Scott, I agree with Jerry.
All too often we look towards the sea water pump impeller as being the culprit. I'm not suggesting that this is not important... it is!
However, we need to think in terms of the sea water path from the point of entry, to the point of entering and exiting the engine and the exhaust system.

The best sea water pump flow will not help us if the exhaust system "spent" sea water flow is restricted at the manifold-to-elbow transfer ports.

IOW, follow the path completely, and you'll find the problem.
