I am going to assume that by water inlet, you mean thermostat housing. If the new gasket is a paper like material then by all means do so. Don't over do it, just a ultra thin coat on both sides to make it stick to the surface of the housing and /or engine. If it is paper like with a rubber o-ring inner flange than no. Final note, ensure that you purchase the correct tube of permatex (High Temperature) the back of the package will state (water pump/thermostat).

Silicone sealer, or gasket maker, even if you have a cork gasket use sealer. I recommend Ultra Black or Ultra Blue. Priscilla =^.^=
NO. You MUST replace the intake gasket.
NO you do not. That is what the o-ring is for. If you use sealer it will wind up in the oil and that is Not good.
to insure proper seal of the pump, if not properly clean surfaces that will cause a leak, which in return cause the replacement of the pump AGAIN.
As far as I know, it should have a gasket. Make sure to use gasket sealer as well when replacing it.
no,wouldnt use silicone due to heat going through stat housing,use a high temp "gasket sealer"
The trunk does not use a gasket, instead it has weather stripping. To replace the weatherstripping remove the old part and scrape off the adhesive. Slide on the new the weatherstripping and use some water proof gasket sealer to ensure there will be no leaks.
Not likely.... I'd never use anything "temporary" on a head gasket.
You should not have to use a sealer. Be sure to clean all the contact surfaces very throughly and do not overtighten the cover bolt.
TAke off valve cover then strip off old gasket.. clean entire serface with alcohol or gas or gasket remover. Then buy a new gasket from a local auto shop, along with some gasket sealer... Put on new gasket as old one was taken off. Use gasket sealer on top and bottom or gasket. Just a thin coat. THen place the cover back on with gasket in place and tighten bolts. Let sit for about 24 hours before starting to let the gasket sealer dry.. Should work better then ever.
replace corke with new and install dry if it is the rubber reusable just wipe off and reinstall
Follow the main hose to the top of your engine .Take of the two screws and there it is replace with new thermostate and gasket .Use blue gasket sealer.
