For the newbies:
The problem with doing your own work is punishing the idiot who screws up... 
This is one of those "attention to detail" items. There are two gaskets - one will not work.. in this case the wrong one lasted 5 minutes before busting loose.
Helps if you use the right water pump gasket:

Rick Denny learned that same lesson on the water pump gasket a few years back. That sure is one pretty impeller.
