What are the torque specs on a water pump?
New Bolts and torque Specs on the water pumps. A new water pump fastening procedure has been implemented on all High Feature V6 engines (2.8L, 3.0L, and 3.6L) on all models (2004-2013 model years) to help reduce the potential for water pump gasket leaks. This new procedure requires NEW bolts to be used when attaching a water pump.
When do I need to replace bolts on my water pump?
It also requires a third pass with an additional 45 degree turn when tightening the bolts. The new torque procedure puts the bolts into yield, so the bolts MUST be replaced when they are removed. Old/reused bolts will break if reinstalled.
What’s the best way to install a torque nut?
Eyeball under a straight edge to gauge flatness. Use a flat face hammer to tap down any protrusion around bolt holes. Glue gasket to the flange with a little blue stuff (Permatex fuel proof silicone). Install pan and torque screws with a nut driver, just enough to cause the blue stuff to squeeze out of the joint.
Can you use torque screws on a gasket?
Install pan and torque screws with a nut driver, just enough to cause the blue stuff to squeeze out of the joint. Let set for 12 hours to cure, then torque screws a little more (10-12). This is not a structural joint, only sealing a gasket. Over-torque will only deform the flange (and may cause leaks).

Is there a way to check the torque of a bolt?
Bolt torque can be checked with a tool such as a torque wrench, but without a value as a guideline, a torque wrench offers no advantage. To arrive at the correct torque value, several other values must be found first. Two principles influence the correct clamping pressure for each bolt, known as clamp load.
What are the torque settings for a Torx head?
Cylinder Head Bolts M20 (Hex-Head) – 40Nm, wait 15mins & tighten to 60Nm then another 25° with engine at normal working temperature. Cylinder Head Bolts M20 (Torx Head) – 30Nm, wait 15mins & tighten additional 90° then another 90° with engine at normal working temperature.
