M923 Water Pump Gasket, Can't Find

[bsteinborn]

I am replacing the water pump on the M923. I have the water pump and the o-ring but I can't find the gasket labeled number 13 in the Figure below (TM9-2320-272-24-4, chapter 3-6). I have searched for the PN 130226 and NSN 5330-00-106-6370 with no luck. I could always use the old gasket but I'd sure like to replace it, anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

A google search for "130226 cummins", finds many options.

Felpro makes the gasket. FP130226 is the part number. Napa sells it. Most stores do not stock it.

Felpro offers most "small" cummins gaskets. Try adding "FP" prefix to the cummins #.

You should not have to pull that housing or plate to change the pump.

Thanks! My usual search options include "nhc-250" or "M939". Guess I'll start including "cummins" in my google searches. Thanks again, I found the gaskets.

Is that the gasket that is supposed to be "leaded" to promote sealing or am I thinking of something else? I guess the question should be: is there anything special about that gasket? I need to change my belt and have read in other posts that its a good idea to replace the gasket with that job.

Thank you,
