Hello, I bought a SKF VKPC 84626 water pump for the Jaguar X-Type 2.5 2001 and I was surprised that the contact area with the gasket is rough instead of machined as usual. Is this rough finish cast aluminum correct to be installed with the gasket? Or it is better to install it with joint former. I am considering returning this pump and buying one with the machined surface (Febi 43504). Thanks
Clicking a torque wrench 3 or more times leaves you 100% sure with a too high torque, it's nonsense to use a torque wrench if you click more than once.
