Bad Water Pump?
Hi Guys, My son has a 1995 F150 300 I6. The other night he was driving home and his heat stopped working then the truck over heated. When he opened the hood he said it was leaking from the water pump. So we get him towed home and I pour some water into the radiator and I see the anti-freeze coming out from around the water pump where the gasket is. So my son replaced the water pump and thermastat. FIlled it back up and it appears to be leaking from the lgasket area again. He used rtv with the gasket, it just seems odd that with a brand new water pump and gasket that it would leak like that. Any ideas of what could be going on here? Could he have cracked or warped the head?
Thanks.....
Thanks.....

Its posible that you did not clean all of the old gasket off the timeing cover and it wont seal and could even crack the new pump when you tighten the bolts I did that on a v 6 not sure where the pump bolts on the I6
