Ok, I just did the water pump seal change and gaskets on my 86 Z. I rode it 3 times and on the 3rd time it started to get hot again. I did a fresh oil change and drained the coolant to see if it was all good. Well my coolant is grey and oil looked alittle grey. Did I need some sort of sealer on my water pump seal? Cause I know it can't be my base gasket since I just rebuilt the top end. Anything is helpful even if I might have to rebuild again...
