Please anyone can clarify on the water pump gaket, the new one brought the gasket the service manual said just apply 3 mm of bead (high temperature silicone, I assume) so should I put the gasket and the silicone or only the silicone ? I am ready to install it now, so I will apreciate you sooner response.

Thanks,

IBM

Paper gasket only is fine, just make sure you remove all of the old gasket material from the block. Or, you can just use RTV silicone by itself, but you have to wait 24 hours for it to cure properly.

Lots of people use a dab of silicone on the paper gasket to keep it in place while installing.

I've never had a problem using the paper gasket by itself. You can actually use a manilla folder to make your own gaskets if you had to.
