If you really want to do it right, cut out the stud hole portion of the old pump to cover gasket and use them as the shims. All those things do is replicate the compressed gasket thickness.



I have never found a down side to not using anything. Not a factor.

Those housings look SAWEEEET.



I'm most definitely doing that if and when I have to rebuild.

Check your waterpump shaft runout while your at it. Last thing you want is to break off the front engine water pump mounting ear from an unbalanced water pump.
