Rushing water sound on cold started ups

Do you mean he didn't use a gasket at all? Or that the RTV wasn't allowed to set right? No gasket is like crazy stupid I think, (although I am no expert). All the repair manuals, TSRM, etc all specifically point out you need a gasket and to put a new one in. If it were my car, and there was no gasket, I would do it myself, removed new pump, put in gasket, and be happy. I am not kidding, the job is very very easy, not like putting a water pump in my Acura Integra which is a little like hell on earth.

I replaced my '88 Supra's, which came with the gasket in the box (from Advanced Auto). I did not have to order one separate. And I did not use RTV sealant, just put it in dry, I didn't have any RTV sealant with me as my car was broken down on the road parked illegally overnight in a sketchy city. I also probably over torqued the bolts and nuts and likely stripped one or two. But it's not been leaking so that's good.
