There is a gasket, but if you're going to all the trouble of replacing it you might as well stick a new one on there!

You can access the cam belt tensioner with all that still on, so just do the pump  :laugh:

It's going to be easier to do the whole lot, pump is only about 20 odd from gsf, and the belts a couple of quid each.

Either your brother or me can give you a hand.  :smiley:

Just make sure the mating faces are shiney clean when you fit the new pump...
