Water pump housing bolts

[djbr459]

Hi all,
Installing the water pump housing on a 67 838.
Which bolts need to be sealed with permatex?
Thanks

None!

I would put some on the pump to housing bolts.

None!

I would put some on the pump to housing bolts.

So none of them extend into the water jacket?

 

[RemCharger]

No.
Try sticking a little screwdriver in there.

Wet holes is a smallblock problem.

I did not do that and have no leak.

My Mancini aluminum housing the water pump holes are open. If the housing to block are open I would seal them.
