Hi,
I replaced the impeller in the Sherwood raw water pump on my universal M35B diesel engine this past weekend. The kit had a paper gasket and two rubber o rings included with the new impeller. When I removed the cover there was no paper gasket installed. Since it was included in the kit I replaced the o ring and I installed the paper gasket. Now I am wondering if the paper gasket was required. Is the o ring the only gasket needed? By installing the paper gasket did I cause the o ring not to seat properly?
Could use some help.
Thanks

It really was a dumb question and I answered it myself. I went to the parts list and noticed that the paper gasket is needed if you open up the pump body itself. I guess I just waisted a good gasket.
