I completed the head gasket repair job on the passenger side of the engine
in my 85 1.9 L and, I must say, it's a real thrill to see that side of the
engine looking so clean and shiny and DRY!

Still have my idle hunting problem, but the main thing I'm wrestling with is
a leak around the fuel pump where the horizontal pipe that runs from the
right head goes into the pump, sealed with simply an O ring.  Yesterday, I
pulled the pipe out and put RTV gasket maker around the O ring, then
reinserted the pipe.  Today, after it had had a chance to cure, I filled up
the expansion tank with water, and the pipe leaked just as bad if not worse
than before.  Frustrated, I pulled the pipe and put more goop around it.

Has anyone else experienced difficulties sealing this joint?  What was your
solution?

TIA.
