It did come with a paper gasket. I even went to the trouble of making sure all the bolts were torqued up correctly.

Re: What did you do today?
If it came with a gasket I would fit it as to seal without one it needs to be very precisely made. I expect a genuine pump would be ok but a pattern one needs the gasket to bring it within tolerance.

Nice Sunday morning alarm, 780hp maize header flat out at 7am a few yards from my bedroom window.

One of the joys of living in the countryside.
Hadn't the cocks crowing already woken you up?

Re: What did you do today?
Unusually (and aside from the usual chorus of fartarse exhausts on Fiestas) the noisiest thing here this morning was some cat screeching like flip in next door's garden. By the time I'd worked out where it was coming from my neighbour was out in her garden chasing it away.
This morning i am trying to finish off the electrics on the AMC - tidying up and redoing some wiring related to the indicators, rear lights and the number plate light.
Oh, and fitting a new air filter to the mower - old one looks as if it may have been the one it came wioth more than 20 years ago.

Re: What did you do today?
That's where you went wrong. Whenever I open a box of anything I bin the instructions immediately.
Most proper blokes do anyway.

Re: What did you do today?
I used the paper gasket but it didn't seem to do it's job. Was a genuine Valeo so should have been reasonable quality.
What was telling is that the old pump had both the gasket and RTV. Including stuck around the pump shaft...

Re: What did you do today?
Finally completed (just about) the wiring for the AMC rear lights and bumper.
I am not sure it's any better than it was before I started - but that's the idea, right?

You do now, however, have the surety of knowing what everything is supposed to do though.
