I shall be installing my water pump but want to know if there is a recommended sequence of which bolt to tighten after the other etc... i don't have a shop manual.  also, on what surfaces should i put the silicone ( i also have the cardboard gaskets too)  thanks.

Greg, I would coat the pump gasket area and then add the gasket to it. Make sure that both the block and the pump gasket seating surfaces are clean before you install the pump. I'm not sure what your bolt pattern is but what I would do is to snug them all up and then do every other bolt if it's a round pattern and if it's a cross pattern go top left then bottom right and reverse the sequence if it's an x pattern. if you don't know the torque values you can look them up at your local library or ask in this forum. just don't be a Gorillia.  That should do it. Happy Motoring
