Water pump bolts?
Should I put some antiseize on the water pump bolts or any type of tread sealer when installing the new pump?

I don't use loctite on them, service manual calls for dry installation. Tighten in two passes, first pass at 11 lb-ft, second pass at 22 lb-ft.

Mine were showing early signs of corrosion. Anti-seize.
