Doing 120k on my car. New water pump doesn't have studs that came with it. Installed it anyways. do i have to use blue locktight on the 6 or 7 bolts I screwed in. I tightened them to like 15ish pounds torque.

Where can I get some studs? Can I reuse the old studs from the old pump? :facepalm:

I can't think of any reason to not use some blue loctite on them, same 15lbs-ish resistance and some guarantee against the heat cycles.
