What Sealant is recommended?
Ok so then next step is upon me.
Im getting ready to put in my amazon orders.
With the list below is there a particular gasket sealant that I should use?
Or do I need different types for each application?
Also getting ready to put on the head gasket.
But I know some bolts on the new water pump need to have sealant on them as well.
Im order my Heavy Duty Timing Chain Kit tomorrow It comes with a Timing Cover, Oil Pump, GMB Water Pump
As this is the second type of Oil seal ( Looks like I had them both based on shaft ware marks. Should I order one of the oil seal/ shaft sleeves?

I used Ultra Grey and so far no problems. All the real experienced guys like either the expensive Toyota FIPG [$20] or Permatex "The Right Stuff". Both of these set up in ten to fifteen minutes and are ready for fluids in an hour.
I applied ultra grey with a small amount on both sides, tightened the bolts finger tight till I saw the stuff just start coming out and stopped. Torqued to specs the next day. No fluids for 24 hours.

As nordicwargod points out, both of those set up REAL FAST. This is good if you're paying your guys by the hour, and they never have to re-position a piece once they've applied the sealant.
But if you only have one (or two or three) trucks that you work on, you might not be experienced enough to always place the piece correctly the first try. Also you probably have more time than money, so letting it sit overnight to get a good seal is not a problem.
So I always use RTV. (Permatex Gray is an RTV.)

I used Toyota FIPG on the oil pan and Permatex Ultra Gray for the rest. Toyota FIPG sets up in 15 minutes, Ultra Grey a little longer. Avoid the sleeve, you're asking for more problems down the road.

Dang I already ordered the Fel-Pro 16214 Gasket (I'm guessing that is a top down view) It was only 10 bucks so if i got the wrong thing or can't/shouldn't use it then no dig deal.
What problems? And wont it leak after a while? I don't think its leaking now, I had the seal replaced about 5 years ago.

Sorry, I apologize. What you ordered should be fine. I thought you were talking about a metal sleeve some folks have been using on the crankshaft where the pump oil spline sits on. That sleeve will cause more trouble in the long run. Sorry my bad.
