Replacing my water pump and I cannot find any diagrams that show the correct length of bolts, specs for torque on the bolts, etc. Was going to be pretty much trial and error trying to find the right match, I figured the smaller bolts wouldn’t even catch threads on the longer bolt holes, and the long ones will stick out. But if a Chilton's manual or something else is out there that I could buy to have if I ever wanted to do a full rebuild or something even would be awesome! Thank you for reading and helping!

Hello,

Water pump installation

Clean the gasket mating surfaces.
Using a new gasket, position the water pump (1) and install the mounting bolts as shown in illustration. Tighten the water pump mounting bolts to 24 N.m (18 ft. lbs.).
Spin the water pump to be sure that the pump impeller does not rub against the timing chain case/cover.
Connect the upper radiator hose to the water pump.
Install the accessory drive belt.
Position the fan shroud and the fan blade/viscous fan drive assembly.
Install the two-fan shroud-to-radiator screws.
Make sure there is 25 mm (1.0 inches) between the tips of the fan blades and fan shroud.
Install the fan blade/viscous fan drive assembly to the water pump shaft.
Evacuate air and refill cooling system.
Connect the negative battery cable.
Check the cooling system for leaks.
