1971 340 Water Pump Bolt Detail - 03/18/12 11:47 PM

Bought a reproduction small block water pump bolt kit and need to know which bolt goes where.

There are 7 bolts;

4 long (2 with "LE" and 2 with triangle on head) - what position do these go top or bottom/left or right?

The other 3 bolts I know where they go.

There are 2 loose washers, which bolts get these washers?

Thanks

long bolts go above and below the water passages (holes) on each side of block..... use a sealant on those 4 bolts two as coolant can leak (same with 4 exhaust studs)

The fastener guide doesn't list any WP bolts having an LE marking. They list the 4 long bolts as having an F with a circle around it. The bottom two bolts are listed as having an A in the center.

My 73 had two of the F bolts and two with a D. The other two lower bolts have a TR on the head.

The fastener guide says that 1 loose washer goes on the lower left bolt.
