So i'm getting ready to install the water pump on the timing chain cover. And I found 3 studs, I don't see this in the manual. Did someone change this or do i need to replace it whit the right bolts.



I can't find were i read it was ok to use copper spray gasket to coat paper gaskets and to use ultra gray when i install them. So is this ok? I have 2 other i can use if i screwed it up.

 

I put the gasket on with nothing on it and no leaks, 3 years ago , Studs are correct just transfer them to the new cover.

 

I use a light layer of the permatex ultra blue

I think I have studs on like all but one hole been so long I can`t remember
