💧 Fel-Pro ES 73010 Water Pump Gasket: Superior Sealant for Efficient Cooling System Performance Review

Glad I stepped in to get them. The super expensive GM water pump came with a gasket. Yes, one seal, two connections. what happened to it I had a premonition that Murphy would mess with me. Also, Fel Pro is probably better than GM.

Replaced water pump Spent extra money on Fel-Pro ES 73010 water pump seals and I'm glad I did. The silicone ball is more durable than the OEM that comes with the water pump. Torque them to spec and found no leaks. I've increased my comfort level by just a few dollars more.

For some reason GM only ships one gasket with their water pumps even though the Vortec 5300 has two inlets/outlets. Bought and found that Felpro has a lot more gasket material than ACDelco gaskets. Recommend them instead of just buying another ACDelco to match the one that came with your pump.

The quality was excellent as expected from Felpro. I thought the gasket was torn so I bought it MUCH cheaper than elsewhere. I ended up having to buy a new water pump along with equally good seals. Saved them just in case. If you just want gaskets then these are perfect for a mid 2000's LS engine. Used on a 2004 Yukon Denali 6.0.

I bought a new water pump for my Tahoe and the super cheap paper gaskets that came with it just didn't do the trick. One of the things I love about LS engines is that most of the seals can be metal with rubber impregnated. NO MORE RTV! These pads did not disappoint. well finished, no manufacturing defects or bad rubber. clamped with pomp, and not a drop came out. will buy again.
