I was curious about running a 01-06 wrangler pump, IF there's an added benefit from just using a newer style pump that is?I have never seen a Jeep pump with 8 fins in the stock style. Always 5. I recall something about water pumps changing.. I also recall someone said rotation direction but that isn't correct as the pulley would have to be ribbed to run no the other side of the belt. I know the WJ water pump won't work on the XJ and probably the 00+ TJ pumps too.
Also my stroker has a paper type gasket with silicon on for the timing cover. Should I just yank that and run a felpro blue gasket? Valve cover & oil pan has the felpro gaskets.That gasket should be okay with RTV. Isn't the Felpro just a thicker paper gasket?

Especially for the timing cover since I'd have to pull the harmonic damper to get at it. And it's just be easier out of the jeep.The valve cover and oil pan have a silicon gasket option, which I would recommend over cork. The timing cover does not.
So 89 block into a 92? Use the 92 or 89?If you are asking about the water pump there is no difference as the pasrts listing shows 87-01 for the water pump.
