My late Papa used to use this stuff and when I saw it in the shelf I grabbed a bottle and used it. This, after 2 failed attempts, getting everything back together and starting her up just to find leaks, I used the Indian head sealer and it worked like a charm. It's tough and messy stuff. Gets all over, but I like it for certain things
Just say'n...

Same as Thorsen.
A light smear as a dressing on any gasket.
On its own if no gasket is the flavour of the moment.
I found Grey Hi-Temp by JB Weld, less noticed after the task.
MAIN thing with that water pump is the face of the timing cover MUST be CLEAN, and NO nicks or scratches. If there are nicks and scratches, a little heavier "smear" in that area, fit the pump, let it set for 24 hours, jobs done.

I am a great believer in this stuff, put on BOTH the metal surfaces, then place the gasket, then offer up the pump:
