  1. Gaskets should always be installed on clean mating surfaces
  2. Gaskets should never be reused
  3. Generally speaking, gaskets do not require additional sealant
  4. Grinding down the flange of a new MMI 502 flange pump - ugh! You may have little choice because you're combining components from different manufacturers but still, ugh! I realize it's too late now but a threaded stud in the accessory drive hole with a hex nut to fasten the pump and bracketing could have solved the misfit.
