Bad Water Pump?

By the way, the picture reveals that the old Toyota pump appears to have been put on with TOO MUCH silicone gasket sealer. See how there is strips of it 'inside' the pump.

When ever I use the sealer, I put it on my thumb and finger, then apply it to both sides of the gasket at one time. Drawing it along, coating the entire surfaces, 'thinly'.

You are only using it to fill in any slight variations in the mating surfaces.
