If it's in the FelPro complete engine gasket set, I have one. I'll check and get back to you. Just curious, why not just buy a new pump? They're cheap and "pretty important"! I always wondered what good it would do to replace the gears but not the casing.

I think the pumps are fine, I took the top off to check the gears. I have two of them. This motor is becoming a money pit. I am rebuilding the starter also. I have a lot more time than I do money.
Thanks,

I'm not seeing that gasket in my set; I used the one that goes at the base of the pump on mine. I'd bet the one on the cover is special (thin), as it sets the clearance on the end of the gears. I wonder if you could use LocTite flange sealant in place of the gasket? As long as the gears spun freely using that, you should be OK.

PS -- as far as the truck being a money pit, think of it as "entertainment", it helps!
