Rb25det Oil And Water Pump Replacement - Gasket Or Goo?

[JZP]

Replacing the engine in my track car with a spare motor I've had sitting around.

Swapping over ancillaries and replacing water and oil pumps before the replacement goes in. Looking for gaskets on eBay, just jap, etc, but they don't seem to be commonly available.

I'm guessing going genuine would be an option, but am I being pedantic?

Is it worth sourcing gaskets or just going the gasket goo?

And I would definitely source the oil pump gasket, who wants a leak there? Nissan or I think some of the aftermarket VRS kits have them

My Protex (jap bearing version) water pump came with a gasket.
