HI GANG
just changing the tensioner and water pump on my 2000 2.5 v6 GV
when i removed the water pump there was sealant on both inner (cylinder block) and outer (front cover) holes and on the water pump orings
for the life of me i can not fathom the reason of putting sealant on the orings as there are no flanges to seal up and i thought that is what the orings are supposed to do???
i am doing this from info and videos on suzuki forums and DO NOT have a shop manual.
is there anything in the shop manual about putting sealant on these holes / orings????
my thoughts are someone changed out the water pump and the mechanic put the sealant on?
your help on this please!
