i am going to replace the water pump on a 560 SEL this weekend. do I need to use a silicone sealant for the pump to engine block contact surfaces? the gasket that came with the water pump looks like paper.

Don't forget that the bottom WP bolt will NOT fit past the notch in the harmonic balancer - you will have to remove the six bolts that hold the balancer to the hub.
